The roads are very narrow and they are also not in good condition.There
are no foot paths making it compulsory for pedestrians to walk on the
road affecting the free flow of traffic. In some roads, the dividers are
not properly laid and big stones are scattered here and there affecting
the smooth flow of traffic and endangering the two wheelers. In many of
the roads hawkers, vendors and all sorts of commercial activities
including repair shops, tea shops, and small traders of all kinds occupy
the roads and many who use these services park their vehicles in a
haphazard manner. These are small impediments which can be easily taken
care of if the traffic police act in collision with corporation
authorities,put some efforts by having a mobile supervisory mechanism.
This is not very expensive and irritants can be comfortably removed.
Having an airport at Electronic city and linking the present airport
with the electronic city are long range plans and very expensive
projects. No doubt, they will definitely ease the movement of traffic,
For the present, at least the Govt can concentrate on removing the
present hurdles and make traffic flow a little faster. The signalling
system in Bangalore needs much to be desired which causes delay in the
flow of traffic and creates avoidable traffic jam. Will the authorities
look into seriously? Better to have some lessons from major cities like
Mumbai, Chennai etc.
