Reduce Traffic Sensibly

 Traffic is the deadliest and boring  word for all the people who need to travel in the city. Though the city management come up with flyovers and underlay bridges to overcome the traffic at busy junction/cross roads was not adequate because of the drastic increase in population in urban areas. If you ask me a solution , what i would suggest is manage the traffic sensibly.
  Say there is a a busy road in the city, which has denser volume of 10,000 vehicles per day. So first we need to identify whats the root cause for the traffic . If there are more than 2 malls /shopping mark/company,schools within a distance of 500 meters, such things should be shifted to a new location in order to cut down the traffic at those areas. Commercial buildings are required for market growth in that area, what i am suggesting is, if the city is growing it should be a uniform growth. So accordingly the traffic volume will go down slowly.

  •  Bus Day should be made compulsory at least once in a quarter [once in every three months]. That day there should not be any cars and bikes running [except emergency condition]  and more buses should operate on that day to avoid rushes.
  • No Single Driving should be allowed in traffic hours [expect in case of emergency]
  • Whoever have a vehicle should grow a plant/tree in their locality where they stay
    • Say if they have 2 cars and a bike, they should maintain and grow three trees/plants
  • No Heavy Vehicles should be running in the city premises at least from 6.00 a.m to 10.00 pm everyday
    • Eventhough the city transport department has this rule, still we can see some lorries /tankers are running in the city in the day time. 
    • Traffic Police should be strict on them  by cancelling their permit temporarily
  • Separate lanes should be there for cyclist
    • This will promote many bicyclers in urban areas and reduce traffic

Citizens, please follow  steps taken by the government / local body who is in power to control traffic and other good initiatives which will benefit us and the society
