Metro @ Jayanagar - how exactly will it look?

12 November 2007 - 2:39pm — silkboard

Any ideas on how exactly will Metro look at this beautiful Jayanagar road? What is the precise location and design of upcoming terminal on Nanda Talkies road?

BIAL connectivity - ORR as tolled or access controlled road?

8 November 2007 - 7:53am — silkboard

If you look at it, the delayed and much hyped BIAL expressway would anyway not solve the connectivity issue. The problem would be in getting to the point in ORR from where BEL Road/NH7 or this expressway would emerge. What you need is quick way for folks to get out from the center or east/south/western corners of the city.


Stackable cars for central district?

6 November 2007 - 9:38am — silkboard

How about something like this for congested central areas of cities like Bangalore? This kind of fits in with Vikash's idea, its just another EV in his last mile transportation solution. Imagine getting down at a Bus/Metro hub in or near CBD. And then renting a car like this to go around. You can get to any congested corner, no matter how narrow the roads are. And these wont require parking lots for storage, stacking lots would be more like it.

No sting operation this

I swear, I was not trying a sting operation here. Though I do wish our electronic media tried sting operations at these day-to-day levels as well, but they are on to bigger things :)

Video 17: Dealing with in car condensation Though weather changes are minimal in India, this does happen in winters and monsoon. Often this causes in-car condensation affecting the windscreen and visibility. Often drivers use a cloth when there are simpler ways. Last in the series, this video ends with some sundry rules all drivers must remember.

Video 16: Give Cyclists the Respect of a car Cycling in Indian cities like Pune, Nagupur and others was once an important mode of transport. Considered unsafe amidst increasingly unruly motorised vehicles, cycling is on decline. This video emphasises the need to give the cyclist the respect of a car.

Parallel parking

Video 15: Parallel parking (reverse parking). Indian drivers often park inappropriately. This may be either due to lack of consideration to others or poor training. Presuming its the latter, this video shows how parallel or reverse parking can be as easy as adding 2 + 2. Simply practice the steps explained on the video.

Low beams or high beams?

19 October 2007 - 2:33pm — asj
Video 14: Low beams or high beams? कौनसे लाईट को कब इस्तमाल करे? One feature of travelling in India at dusk or later is the lack of understanding amongst drivers on when to use the vehicles headlights. Often drivers don't use any lights even when it is dark, on other hand, some use the high beam even in built up urban areas. This short film hopefully will help create awareness amongst drivers. This is vital as correct use of lights can avert accidents.

Lane discipline and overtaking

19 October 2007 - 1:17pm — asj
Video13: Lane discipline and overtaking The driving test in India at best expects learner drivers to manage the clutch and accelerator. Given that there is no theory test, drivers have little understanding of blind-spots, principle of mirrors signal and manoeuvre. Both these concepts are vital to effectively manage changing lanes and overtaking safely. This video hopes to bring these principles to fore.

Speed limits, stopping distances and 2 second rule

19 October 2007 - 1:12pm — asj
Video 12: Speed limits, stopping distances and 2 second rule Travelling on Indian roads involves enduring indisciplined traffic. Over and above this, lack of training and information means few if any of the drivers are aware of speed limits, stopping distances and the rather useful 2 seconds rule. This video makes this vital information available to all drivers.
