Question { Genpact, 249529 }

Tell me 2 minutes about traffic hyderabad ?

Answer

Hi I am Surya,

I find very difficult in traffic in hyderbad even though I
am trying to follow all rules (like switching on signal
lights while changing to another lane) and try to teach
people when and where ever possible (some times I even
listen abuses from ppl which I ignore always).

First and foremost thing every one has to keep in mind that
our driving or even our walking on the road, should not
affect others in any form. No one should not feel or
disturbed because of our actions.

Points I feel mostly causing for traffic jams and accidents:

1. Digging every where on the road side with out proper
permissions... and police (of course normal people also
question, but police would be ideal person to deal) is not
at all questioning them and just staying quite as if they
don't know. Finally, when traffic jams happen they are
feeling pressure.
2. No footpath for pedestrians - Though footpath available,
no use. normal ppl are unable to use them. as a result, ppl
are forced to walk on the road which would definitely slow
down the traffic passage. Also there are some ppl who does
not have sense to think even to walk on the extreme left
side possible to the road. Hence accidents are taking place.
3. People are crossing (especially pedestrians) roads every
where and they are not at all crossing at zebra/signal
cross. If any try to cross the road where vehicles may be at
speed even 20-30 kmph every possibility of accident.
4. This is about drivers of any vehicle 2,3,4... wheelers
are driving senseless and not caring others and only
focusing on how to overtake, occupy where ever small space
available. If any pedestrian is crossing across road, then
drives should always stop at least slow down untill the
person crossess road/some area, then start moving; this will
release of tension and reduces the possibility of accidents.
5. When ever people are entering with 2,3,4... wheel
vehicles from small lanes to main roads or vice versa., they
are not bothering at all about the existing traffic on the
roads which they have to join, simply they are trying to
come with big speeds. Also important thing is to slow down
(which is compulsory in other countries) when ever a person
is taking diversion (especially right turn or u-turn) or
changing lane on the roads.
6. Finally traffic control should increase the cameras not
only at signals, but also at the middle of the road even
though it is oneway.
7. Pollution is also one of the major factor... vehicles
(especially 4 wheelers) are not tested at all.. they are not
taking seriously to frequent check up of their vehicles.
Also police is not worried about 3/4 wheelers especially old
cars, even tata sumos, qualis... they only pick 2 wheelers
for checking. they wont ask for papers for 4 wheelers who
are driving... However I should admit that I really
appreciate 4 wheelers especially car drivers for good
driving, patience when ever 2 wheelers trouble them.

This is all about I feel personally and not read any where
about rules... Please let me know your suggestions and
feedback so that we start live in a peaceful and best society.

Jai hind.
