Information Madness

Hyderabad Traffic

Hello, This matter is really worth discussion. if you belong to this city, you might be aware of what i would be diccussing here.

POORLY PLANNED CITY : the city trafic was better when i moved to this city , around three years back. though traffic was not diciplined like delhi or north but still was atleast managed. BUT recenct developments by trafic authorites have proved that it is poorly planned. The guys behind this planning are not qualified enough to handle this responsibilty. Some of the example in support of my this statement are if you look at the main begumpet road ( the old airport road) its a commercial road that connects hyderabad and sikandrabad the twin cities. has flyovers.

Lets just talk about the flyover that connects begumpet to nagarjuna circle and banjara hills area. In office hours this flyover is full of traffic already and the intelligent traffic police officials block the traffic turnings from banjara hills to Punjagutta ( at punjagutta circle) adding whole traffic flow to begumpet road and congesting the traffic.

If some one has to turn to right from punjagutta circle towards yashoda hospital , he would have to go all over till Greenland Lights then take a U turn and come all the way down to punjagutta circle again adding 5 kilometer aditional so guess how much congession to the trafic. its just one example there are lot many roads wheree people are facing same problems going additional 4-5 kilometer which can be covered in seconds but due to silly sick management they are forced to ...THis leads to Accidents to ,  two wheelers in orderr to save time and traffic go off the line in wrong direction.

A main cause of hyderabad roads being the most accident pronbe roads. Take example of RAjBhawan Road, infront of Yashoda hospital there use to a divider that was connecting rajbhavan road and punjagutta area. But blocking that divider added extra 4 kilometers for people who want to go from T NAgar to punjagutta circle. look at TDP office road connecting the jubli hill check Post. If you are at KBR park cicle and want to reach TDP office. its a 100 step distance that you cover in 20 minutes and 4.5 kilometer. the city need more efficient and more managed traffic than more traffic people as guards for the ill managed traffic.

Another Problem with traffic police is in order to make money they harass people on the road by stopping and asking for papers. One personal incident i would like to share is i was going for my doctor's appointment which i was almost about to miss because of sick traffic. in adition was stopped by trafic police guy at abids for no good reason. I was wearing seat belt was driving calmly at moving traffic speed only. He asked me for pollution certificate , expecting that i may not be knowing its sticker pasted on the front being a girl. I simply replied its already pasted on front glass of the car then he said no no i am asking for RC and your licence. he asked me to park my car taking left turn where i was to gfo straight and it was my traffic signal. I told him i am in hurry and i haVE TO GO STRAIGHT he was rude and asked me to park the car i did, showed him all the papers and my licence. then hwe said madam donot panic go, its our duty. I was laughing at the indian traffic police people that only 100 rs would have saved my time but why should i be payinmg them 100 bucks when i have no fault. I missed my appoinment , wasted my one leave i took from office to attend my appointment , spent 200 rs on patrol and 7 kilometer extra i have to go because of that silly fellow's decision of parking my car to left .Who should be blamed for that. I thought of taking his id number and  complaining against him but for that i would have to go to police station which females in India would always avoid looking at the reputation of our guards.

Another issue in traffic mismanagement is wrong parking.the best thing about this is if you have parked car on the side of the road properly  with no bloakage of traffice still your car would be towed if its rajbhawan road but if you have your car parked in the middle of the lane in any residential area where there are comercial complexes too , it wont be towed even after complaints , but you would receive a reply from traffice police inspector that we need to report to local police station but not traffice police they r responsible for roads only. HYDERABAD NEEDS BETTER TRAFFIC POLICE COMMISIONER WHO IS WELL QUALIFIED , WELL INSYNC WITH THE POLICIES TO MAKE TRAFFIC MANAGED AND DISCILINED.
