Traffic Sense in our CITY

Stopping is not required while taking left at CROSS ROAD

We are living in a city, where on an average each youngsters or citizen possess their own vehicle; especially bikes, Cars and others. Indeed, problem of Pollution and depletion of fuel are threatening. But today’s topic is quite different. It’s about traffic sense of our few excellent riders, sarcastically.

I use to travel a lot in the city areas during weekdays, but I was flabbergasted by the way travellers were riding vehicle particularly two wheeler. Most dreadful situation prevails during the Cross Road...How?? Let me tell you.

Whenever we are waiting for the green signal at the Cross Road; the LEFT most lane on our side is the lane for the Commuters who want to take left and he don’t need to wait for any signal’s permission. That rider can take left and go on his way. This is what should happen ideally!!

With great respect to our travellers, I would tell that it’s disgusting that still they need to wait despite of it’s not required when we want to take a left turn. But why they need to wait for the green signal? It’s not that they are unaware of the law. Because there are many riders who wait on that lane in order to get rid of heavy Traffic. Although they are not going to take left turn but they are going to travel in a straight direction, then also they will wait there; so that they can get out of the traffic.

They are not thinking about riders who are standing behind them, as they want to take left turn. So they need to wait, just because of the rider which lack traffic knowledge or are they are too busy? But I clearly think they mustn’t be standing there.

I have seen this daily at Income Tax Cross road in Ahmedabad and I’m sure this is happening at numerous places. So what’s the SOLUTION? Traffic Police, Well no!! I think in this meager topic we can pay ourselves enough attention. We have deployed enough Traffic police on our roads. I have seen many places in India like Mumbai and Pune, where there are no Traffic Cops; but still mature public manages themselves and follow the signals adequately.

So we need to think where we are in APNU AMDAVAD!! But I’m 100 percent sure that if we follow this small guideline of our Traffic Rules, definitely lot of our time can be saved from those hectic traffic jams.
