Poor Infrastructure, traffic management and indisciplined drivers are the major causes for traffic jams in Bangalore

Traffic Jams
The traffic jams in the garden city today is turning out to be the real can of worms for its citizens to reach the gardens. After breaking the back of the beasts, the city has witnessed huge progress in the information technology but the traffic congestion is becoming its Achilles heel which is not only affecting the growth of its business and contributing substantially to pollution but it is also affecting the lives of its citizen drastically.

"The traffic jams in the garden city is making it difficult for its citizens to reach the gardens."


If we look at the population, area and the number of vehicles in Bangalore, it is nowhere compared to Delhi and Mumbai. So, the increase in the number of vehicles cannot be the reason for traffic jams. According to the survey conducted by Times of India by global market research agency Synovate states that the biggest reason for traffic jams is the bad roads, followed closely by poor traffic management and lack of proper infrastructure like flyovers. Indisciplined drivers were also seen as significant reason for the traffic jams. What is even more surprising in the report is that the rating of the city’s administration efforts to improve the traffic is a mere 3.23 on 10! And this is definitely a matter of concern because despite making an all-out effort to address this raising concern, it sounds like that the administration cannot hold a candle when it comes to addressing traffic jams. But the inefficiency of the city’s administration to control traffic jams is not the only reason for these jams; another big culprit is the incredible uncivilized stupidity of people, and this does not include only cabbies or Auto Rickshaw drivers but the so call “educated” idiots who also do heroic stunts regularly, blocking traffic for others in their self-righteous, overzealous attempt to get in front of everyone else to save seconds which do not really matter.

"Indisciplined drivers are one of the significant reason for traffic jams"


I think its high time now and we all need to understand our responsibility of following the traffic rules and inculcate a positive driving culture and proper road sense either we are on vehicle or while walking on the road. This is just an attempt to motivate some people to still believe in the system and follow traffic rules in spite knowing that the others on the road might not. But take the bull by the horns and set an example, we Indians are good historically, we just need good examples and we will follow them. So let’s begin with respecting traffic rules & regulations. We should never try to outsmart these since they are for a reason. Following traffic signs is one single largest reason to make our roads better.


Be safe and drive safe!!

10 Life Lessons my father taught me...

On the occasion of Father's Day, penning down 10 key lessons which my father taught me.. 1. The definition of money: Money isn’t what you think it is. Contrary to popular belief, money isn’t the answer to all your problems; what money enables is freedom and flexibility, both for you and for those around you. And that is it! 2. Want vs need: You’re going to need a job and a paycheck. But understand the difference between what you want and what you need. So, don’t lose sight of what you truly need from life. 3. Fear and failure: Don’t be afraid of failure. Those who are afraid to fail are also afraid to succeed. To accomplish anything, you must risk losing in order to capture what you want. The worst thing which will happen is that you will fail. But it is not end of the world and you will be loved for just being you. 4. Be kind and responsible: You will never know what another person’s experience has been. So always remember to be empathetic and compassionate. An...
