Most of the time traffic signals create problems rather than solving it. Traffic signals should only be used sparingly. The best example is lms - palyam -pmg strech. This road was in peace until the new twoway system and traffic signals were installed. Allow drivers to cross junctions cooperatively. Or if traffic signals are necessary, say as in overbridge, what we need is an Intelligent traffic system which scans the road and allot green time according to traffic density I do agree with the article.

I dont know how many of our licence holders know the phrase 'left is right' which means, give way to the vehicle coming from the left (in a junction). Here, we all follow 'I am right' policy. Sorry for using 'all' but I am sure we all, atleast once, gave preference for our priorities in road. Agree Nithya.

We have always been trained to get to the front, in all fair or crook. Starting with school admission, if I could get my application on the top and of course with a reco, a promise to add 10000 bricks to the school building fund then I deserve a seat better than a brainier kid... growing up with such attitudes I tend to think if I could only overtake those waiting at the signal and edge on the right then I will have my easier traverse across the signal. Just inconsiderate. It puzzles me after being here for a while in the UK, that India needs signals for Round abouts. Whereas the purpose of round about is to avoid a cop/signal. If only we had the will and patience to give a chance first and take the chance next our world will be a better place. Irrespective of ours being narrow roads, needings cops, needing signals it is our mindset that is narrow, blocked and need policing. We Indians need patience.
