CommonTrafficSense

I always prefer to go to office early on all Monday mornings, the reasons being…
1. Better NOT to be Late to office after weekend.
2. Avoid frikking traffic on the Bangalore Roads.

My office is on the Eastern End of the Residency Road, next to Ballal Residency Hotel / opposite to the Old dilapidated Opera Theatre, pretty close to the Residency Road x Brigade Road Junction. I live on the 100ft Road of IndiraNagar and take a shortest route to reach MG Road, by avoiding all these main roads and signals.

MG Road is the TRAFFIC HELL in Bangalore and in the recent days, its worst cos of the Bangalore Metro Project. Guys, its hard to believe, MG Road is a small stretch of 2200 metres, but got 6 traffic signals between Trinity Circle and Cubbon Park.

Ok.. Lemme come to the point..
This Monday Morning, I was waiting in the Trinity Circle Signal, on RED, eagerly waiting for GREEN. A set of people on bikes, already breaking the signal rules and crossing the road. I was waiting. Few cars overtook me. I was waiting. Some more auto drivers crossed me. I was still waiting. Every single body was looking at me, like looking a CULPRIT / MOST Wanted TERRORIST, just because i was waiting for a GREEN signal. Though, I enjoyed the pride moment waiting there for the last 40 seconds of RED, but felt very bad for that set of people.

Ok.. Why are these Road Rules and Signals? Made for ourselves? or for the GODS? When you can wait in a railway queue or a theatre queue, hours together to book a ticket, why cant wait for few more seconds in a signal?

Look at this pathetic scene on the 100ft road, Indiranagar.

Think. Action.
