It is a well known fact that we have to deal with some of the worst traffic in the world.In india Bangalore and Delhi rank 6th and 7th in the Commuter Pain Index. a survey of a traffic conditions of major cities around world by IBM Traffic. It is high time something that was done about it, and instead of blaming government or whining about it, we are ones who should start changing. Just doing these 5 simple things can solve traffic problems in India to great extent.
The problem with the following lanes here is that no one seems to know about it. Ex:Cars, and bikes, and trucks , buses also they all go where they want to and their thinking is that if we can squeeze in 3 to 4 vehicles on a two lane road, good for us right? But this turns into nightmare with buses waving around in between stops and signals, and it is very common to see people taking a turn from the farthest lane. This absolutely wreaks have on the flow of traffic and is a big issue especially when ambulance has to get through.
Maintaining lane discipline will not reduce traffic but it will definitely make it less stressful to navigate
The indicators seem to be some mysterious and untouchable device for the most people. No one seems to be realize that just by using this simple feature they can make everyone’s life on the road much easier. If you take that half a second to flick to the switch, everyone around you will know your intended direction and you can navigate accordingly. It also makes it safer to take turns without worrying about someone in your blind spot from crashing into you. And be sure to turn the indicators off once you have taken the turn.It can be very misleading.
I understand that time is valuable, but is it more so than a person’s life? Running red lights is perhaps the most dangerous thing along with driving drunk)you can do while driving riding. We rationalize it by thinking that we are saving 2-3 minutes of waiting at the signal and so we do not think about the consequences it can have. I have seen a lot of close calls and a couple of really horrible incidents that could have been easily avoided if everyone just had a little more patience. And talking about patience.
Being stuck in traffic would be a lot more bearable if it was not for the cacophony of horns from every direction. We honk constantly, whether it is on an empty road and we’re worried about someone suddenly getting in the way or in the middle of heavy traffic just because we are frustrated. It just irritates everyone on the road and then they start honking and the endless cycle continues. We should reserve using the horn for when it is really required instead of using it as a way to remove frustration on others.
We treat roads like our own backyard and we have no reservations about parking our vehicles in any empty space that we see. People turn on their hazard lights and they think this gives them free chit about parking like idiots and obstructing the traffic. We especially need to stop parking our vehicles on those two way, single lane roads where bottlenecks are just impossible to deal with.
It is difficult to go against the flow, but even if a few people started following these simple rules, we can at least make small change in the traffic problems in India. Who knows, someone else who sees you doing this might get inspired to do the same.

Traffic has been a major problem here in the Philippines ever since I can remember. The previous administrations have done many remedies and schemes to ease traffic but none of them seemed to work and it became worse every year. Above all, traffic has a major impact on economy as it delays the delivery of raw materials and goods causing them to lost the quality the establishments requires to give high quality products and services. Moving on, I'm not losing hope that traffic could somehow lessen here in pour country because our new president seems to be persistent on everything he does and he laid out plans that seems to work. I think, traffic could be lessen or be eradicate only IF our leaders have concrete plans and persistent enough to make them a reality and of course a full cooperation from us.
