The NMT task force will go thru the CBD areas to measure the roads as an effort to design the bicycle tracks.The alignment that will be evaluated will be as per below.

Since it is a closed event will post summary here on praja after the event.

APAD - Non-Lane driving - Result declared

Traffic

 Location: NICE Road(Is that right name, or free-ad for Kheni saab?) , Hosur Road Junction(Clover Leaf), E-City Phase 1

Time: 11-Mar-2011 @8.25am

There is no need of explanation. We were blocked because of this accident. Perfect result of non-lane driving. Both drivers should win award(???) for non-lane driving. Police was busy in "negotiating" with parties.

Most annoying driver behaviours

Traffic

Taking off from the APAD and DDC campaigns, I thought I'll try to note down the most annoying driver behavious that I keep coming across on an almost everyday basis. Here's my list, which may not be quite exhaustive, but which is generally in the order of annoyance to me:

Voice of Praja and hand of praja

TrafficTraffic jams

Dear Sir/ Madam,

 We have learned from the time we have come to our senses that Government is a huge organization with little ability to take immediate actions due to lack of time, budget and lack of quick communication.

Even the September 11 in US happened due to lack of quick communication and lack of time to scrutinize the security norms.

Dear Sir/ Madam,

Bus Day at Mysore - got ideas for KSRTC?

BusPublic Transport

KSRTC is all set to start Bus Days in Mysore, they will announce firm dates and plans real soon. Their sister concern BMTC are passing all logistics related learnings from Bangalore Bus Days, and KSRTC is keen to take in input from all who care about public transport in Mysore.

CBD Intermodal connectivity

Infrastructure

 The NMT task force setup under DULT met for its first meeting today. This task force was constituted vide government order DULT/117/ADM 2010-11. Praja was represented by Myself & Srinidhi. We presented the call to action report on CBD intermodal bicycle connectivityprepared with inputs collated via various blogs/discussions on Praja.in.

Going around in circles

EnforcementTraffic

Within one and a half years of its opening, the rotary yield junction at the busy Krishna Rajendra (K.R.) Circle is set to get traffic signals, mainly on account of the closure of the Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Veedhi and opening of the alternative roads for the construction of the Vidhana Soudha underground metro station.

Seat belts optional in Bangalore?

EnforcementTraffic

 Is the wearing of seat belts optional in Bangalore?  On my recent visits here I find (on a quick check) less than 30% of private car drivers wear seat belts, almost no taxi driver and LCV driver wears one.
