Steps to be taken by the government:

1) Add more roads within city. Ring roads are good, but unless more roads are added within city limits, central business district will choke. It is very sad to note that in the last 10 years, hardly 10KM of road has been added within city.

2) Widen existing roads. Consider, for example, the hosur road stretch between madiwala checkpost to lalbaugh. It gets chocked because it is not broad enough to carry a 2 lane traffic at each side of road.

3) Add shoulders and round abouts in junctions. This way, a vehicle to turn left or tight will not block the traffic following the vehicle.

4) Don't waste time and money on projects like 12KM stretch elevated expressway. (Foreigners are laughing at such projects). Instead, add fly over at each junction, and most traffic jam will be gone already.

5) Ban slow moving vehicles like tractors, bullock carts, heavilily loaded cargo vehicles. They cause too much disturbance to describe here.

6) Enforce a maximum body width for vehicles. In west, a lorry or a bus will be only a little bit wider than a car. This will make sure that more lanes can be added to existing roads and that no vehicle will block the road.

7) Come up with a 200 page booklet on road rules and regulations and make sure every one has to read and pass it before driving vehicle on roads. (Apply even to existing license holders)

8) Make sure licenses are issues strictly for merit and not for bribe.

Steps to be taken by the public

1) Be courteous to otehr drivers on the road. Give way whereever you can.

2) Don't block intersections while in a traffic jam.

3) Follow rules strictly. Lane discipline is an absoulute must.

4) Don't honk excessively. You add a lot of stress to drivers in front of you. By honking, you are reducing the life of that poor guy in front of your vehicle. (due to stress you cause)
