Bangalore Traffic and solutions in my view

If you are living in Bangalore or Visitor to Bangalore in week days (sometimes weekend also), definitely could notice one thing about Bangalore, that’s “Bangalore Traffic”. Generally people says about, Ambulance story.
Compare to other metro cities in India like Mumbai, Chennai with Bangalore. Bangalore is small city. But growth is high as equaling to other cities.
Here Job distributions, in sector wise vary from other cities. High growth is in one or two sectors (example: Software’s and Software Enables). The white color job doing people is high. So obviously owning four wheelers is more.
Compare other cities yearly raining quantity also high. So high chance of road gets damage very easily. This also increases the Bangalore traffic.
Migrant people is more in past few years .

Solutions:
  • Self discipline of drivers - Own Cars/ Hired vehicles / Buses ( Follow your lane / strictly obey the signal)
  • Traffic Management system (Sync up with traffic level to adjacent traffic signals)
  • Maintenance of Roads (Due to nature, roads are getting damaged easily. Especially in Signal junction)
  • Make use of near college and school NCC and NSS Students
  • Follow the best practices from other cities(Sometime I lived in the Chennai and visited Mumbai too. I feel in Chennai and Mumbai traffic management is effective. We can follow the best practices of those cities )
  • Traffic Police Authorities(Traffic police need to use their authorities /power during the peak hours and issues the tickets for defaulters)
  • Parallel Roads(Need to build the parallels road for all the major roads)
  • Deployment of more traffic officers in festival session and long holidays beginning time
  • Bus stop need to push right place.
  • Over stopping buses in bus stop
  • Educate to Lorry and truck drivers about lane discipline
  • Allow or build the special underground crossing roads for Special Economic zones from other side.
  • Give more priority for Main lane signal.
  • During build up the fly over/ under pass, need to maintain decent level temp roads
  • Build the subways for crossing road.
  • Vision about City Planning
  • Public need to utilize the common transport medium
Currently traffic jam is our routine and part of life. One day it will change. I am hoping for this..as a Bangalore-ian.
