I think we have heard some more excellent ideas from Mohan, Tarun, and Rajiv. To summarize all the ideas thus fars, 1.we need to plan for identification traffic violators, 2. Restrict overtaking in busy traffic areas, 3. Plan for more ring-road type of expressways surrounding the city, 4. Eliminate street side parking, and build more public parking facilities away from the streets, 5. Provide tax benefits for those businesses that are willing to relocate out side the city, 6. add more meaningful punishments and implement them strictly (may be by offering more bonus awards to the traffic police based on their punishment awards) in a way that impacts people in a positive way, 7. Make continuous efforts to communicate/broadcast using different media, the importance of controlling pollution, and avoiding serious traffic delays on a daily basis. I think these are all very valid options, and I think people that have contributed to these ideas should feel proud of thinking about them. Now, we need to get some attention from the Govt officials to notice these ideas. Any body has any suggestions? I saw the following web site for our state Govt, and found few contact email addresses for chief Minister’s office. Please look at the site, and everybody start sending some emails to the officials until somebody responds. The web site link is:
