In fact in Delhi's Janakpuri I have seen Cycle lanes but these are usually used for scooter parking or if Traffic police is not there, autowalas ans 2-wheeler's use the cycle lane becuase it is emptier. Sensitizing, making the public aware again is something that we can start doing from home. My own lisence is a result of bribery and my driving skills are better left unmentioned. But the fact of the matter is we do have a long way to go. Everyone wants instant results without any effort thats why the zip, zooming traffic. Thats why the buying of lisence. Money goes a long way in keeping one at a safe distance from the law. And blocking traffic for Olympics was ridiculous. Though it is off topic, but I still feel, on moral grounds India could have boycotted this Olympic. But then there are politics, diplomacy, lot of money involved and also players effort's involved who have been practicing to be in the Olympics. Ansy I like the suggestions that you have put.

But we are so unplanned even in a planning. the most recent reminder is the hrs of traffic jam since the roads were blocked due to the Olympic torch relay. More than attitude, we have to change our insight of the problem. And ofcourse, UP needs a lot of fixing up! @Ritu, yes, delhi is still better cos we are in the capital city and with the commonwealth games approaching a lot of money is going to be spent in infrastructure development.

I liked this post... Sums it all up.. I lived in Delhi for several years before moving to Pune and lemme tell you, Delhi's traffic is by far the best Ive encountered so far... Small cities are really bad and metros like Bombay and Bangalore have no roads where you could drive over 20kmph... And have you ever seen the traffic in Lucknow???? GWASH...you'll wonder if its a city at all... Indeed all cities and towns in UP are in a bad shape. Was in Delhi two days ago and sent a message to hubby claiming that I found the roads in Delhi still AWESOME... yet...as you say rightly, lots needs to improve... But certainly Delhi is a lot better off. Hi… I liked this post… Sums it all up..

Thanks for visiting my blog and commenting. However, I beg to differ abt the "what can we do" to "what can be done" bit. When we talk in terms of a large infrastructure that is being used by thousands and affects each one of us in significant measures, we can only hope for group/govt/society based changes. For instance, I may decide that riding a cycle is my way of contributing to improving the traffic condition in my area, but maybe I am jeopardizing my safety and also causing trouble to others by trying to pedal through motor-vehicle traffic. So you see its like the chicken-and-egg story and isolating one from the other is not possible. Where many people are involved, the decisions and the enforcements always have to be group-based. @Rahul. Thanks for visiting my blog and commenting.
