CBI - Sanjaynagar junction magic boxes

18 June 2008 - 11:19am — navshot

The CBI junction magic box work has started. But from what I can make out, there is only one box that would come up at CBI junction. Most likely, that would be the case for SJN junction. Given that, traffic flow would most likely be as in the figure. Please note that road widens after SJN towards CBI.

'People for a cause' - banners on IRR

Reclaiming footpaths

16 June 2008 - 1:45pm — murali772

The right of the pedestrian to use the pavements unhindered is sacrosanct which has been repeatedly echoed even by the highest court of the land. But lower courts grant stay orders whenever attempts are made (though half heartedly) to remove the footpath hawkers. These stay orders go unchallenged effectively.

Imagine Bangalore traffic with this ...

On a lighter note, just imagine Bangalore's traffic landscape (err... airscape) if we all were allowed to let loose in these personal helicopters!? Looks like they are almost here.
