Many traffic Violations in just 2 minutes

Date: 21 Aug 2011 at 6:00PM

Location: Akkayyapalem road, near SKML Sweets, Visakhapatnam

Incident:

I tried to capture the traffic at the above mentioned location for 2 minutes to get some traffic violations. Surprisingly, almost all the people violated traffic rules.

Our Observation:

As it is clearly shown in the above video, There were many traffic violation took place in a two minutes video. Some major violations are as follows:

• A white car (TATA Indica), auto rikshaws, many bikes parked both the sides of the road and occupied almost 50% of the road.
• An instant cool drink vendor having his business on the road and abserved that a motorcyclist stopped his vehicle infront of the vendor cart to drink.
• A Tata Sumo (or a similar vehicle) came and stopped in the middle of the road. Now the road is 70% occupied.
• Auto Rikshaws stopped on the road for a while to let their passengers to get down and pay.
• Many vehicles (almost all) crossed the solid white line which is an indication as a separator for up & down vehicles.
• A family ride & triple ride on motorcycles has been observed.
• Many civilians walking & crossing the road with out even caring about the moving vehicles.

This video has been captured on Sunday where there is only 50% of the actual traffic presents. Now imagine how busy this road must be & how many violations we can identify in week days.

Suggestions to Traffic Department:

What should I suggest to them? Don't they know what to do? I am sure that all these violations happens in front of the traffic police and even the traffic police does this. It is really SHAME... 

Suggestions to Public:

As per the video, we can observe that the traffic violations became a part and partial of our life and we are in such a situation that what we are doing are the actual traffic rules. INDIANS, PLEASE AWAKE AND FOLLOW THE RULES AND MAKE OTHERS FOLLOW.
