Rules Enforcement
Post: Sir/Madam, At the outset, I would like to congratulate our ACP (traffic), who has taken a number of initiatives to improve the deplorable state of traffic in the city. The use of ICT for paying fines, traffic info is commendable and awareness about this should be increased. At the same time, Bangalore is one of the worst place for pedestrians. There are no foot paths on most roads. Those which have footpaths are hijacked by two vehicle riders. For this, I suggest having footpaths on all major roads and increasing their height to at least half a foot so that the riders find it difficult to mow their bikes over the pedestrians. An example of good footpaths is the Old Airport Road. We need more such roads. Also, the foot paths should be constantly repaired. Moreover, we should have fine all people who break the rules heavily. Through heavy fining and vigilance, the police has been able to successfully enforce the helmet rule. Now, we need to curb other violations in a similar way.
