Traffic - An Interesting Trouble!!!

The Interesting part about traffic:
"Every person complains about traffic despite the fact that he himself is also one of the reasons behind it"

The below cartoon is an epic. It just resembles exactly what I wanted to say!

I have taken this cartoon from: http://www.businesstravellogue.com . Thnx!

So, Stop complaining..
First.. please be a respnsible citizen..!!!
Please use public transport as far as possible!!!

10 MAIN OBSTACLES TO FREE FLOW OF TRAFFIC IN INDIA:- 

• Wrong Parking and parking place conversion. 
• Encroachments on footpaths / roads. 
• Poor traffic infrastructure like signals, roads, signages, junctions etc. 
• Bottlenecks – both natural and religious. 
• VIP movement. 
• Road cutting by Government agencies / no restoration. 
• Dharnas, processions etc on roads. 
• 3500 RTC buses / 70,000 autos parking – indiscipline. 
• Lack of any budget to Traffic Department to take up Traffic Improvement measures. 
• Manpower shortage in Traffic Department.

Some simple things for us to "remember and follow" while driving:

• Keep on your left, allowing the vehicles from the opposite direction to pass. 
• Give way to traffic on your right, especially at road junctions and round abouts. 
• Always use a helmet if on a two-wheeler and always check that the strap is fixed properly. 
• While turning either left or right, give way to vehicles going straight. 
• While turning left, keep to the left side and turn close to the left side of the road to which you enter. 
• Slow down at the junctions, intersections and pedestrian crossings, school zones, temple areas etc., 
• Give signals before you make any manoeuvre, indicating your intention, so that the other road users can adjust accordingly. 
• At junctions, do not block the free lefts 
• In case traffic jams, be patient. Do not cross the median and block the opposite lane. 
• Stick to the given speed limit and remember that speed limit is related to the traffic condition. 
• Keep enough distance from the vehicle ahead to avoid collision. 
• Yellow lines should not be crossed under any condition. 
• At junctions or intersections, never park the vehicle beyond the stop line. 
• At pedestrian crossings always remember that the pedestrian has the right of way. 
• Overtake only from the right side of a vehicle. Never overtake on bridges, narrow roads, junctions, school zones and pedestrian crossings. 
• At the signal, do not stop your vehicle on the Pedestrian Crossing. 
• Two-wheelers are meant only for two. Third person is not allowed, even children. 
• Do not move your vehicle on the amber light. Wait for the light to turn green. 
• Do not drive in a zig-zag manner. 
• Do not honk and create noise pollution .
• Do not spit on the roads.
