Re: Traffic Rules Compliance

Post: I don't know if anybody who has power to make changes, is reading these posts. Otherwise, it will be waste of time discussing here. Anyway, I want to share my experience here. Daily I commute via Banashankari bus stand. That place is a complete mess. Lot of roads, come and meet from different directions and meet at different points. Because of this, there are lot of automated signals. And there is a major bus terminus in the midst of this. And, nobody is inclined to follow rules and there are more people walking on the road than the vehicles. People don't wait for the bus to arrive at the bus stand. They get down and get in when the bus is waiting at the signal. Drivers allow people of get down and get in places other than the stand! And these buses, don't care for the signals. They stop in the middle of the road and blocking all the traffic. And start and turn in whichever direction they want and go even when the signal is RED!! There are many police personnel, who are mute spectators! This place is a complete mess. The only way to get it into shape is to make the police more active, implement stringent rules and put fine on anybody (including BMTC drivers) who violate rules. Also, a rethinking on the place of bus terminus and automated signals is needed here.
