Bangalore Traffic Police are advertising through their notices in the newspapers as well as hoardings across the city that they have fulfilled their early promises made through BTRAC.
They are harping on these-
1. The traffic information system: BTIS- This seems great. It has to be seen how thisis used by the cops in regulating traffic.
2.Putting up signage and lane markings is good. They have started doing it in certain roads with dedicated lanes to autorickshaws etc. But please, this dedicated lane to the autorickshaws..is it wise? I was driving on Saturday from near Minsk square alongside Chinnaswamy Stadium wanting to enter Lavelle Road. These auto drivers who were in their lane which is at the extreme left wanted to go to Kasturbha Road, and hence taking a right. It was utter confusion there with vehicles zig zagging across the road at the junction. My take on this is that the traffic police should do a rethink about this dedicated lane, or should regulate the traffic at such points. Some markings which are visible here and there seems good though,
3.Easy Auto - Sounds so good, hope it is true. We have all heard stories of auto rickshaw drivers fleecing people.
Hope enforcement too is as good with fine being imposed on the spot for traffic violations.

In response to your comment on "Bangalore concert starting late by two hours", I only have a small correction. It was 1 hour 45 minutes to be exact! :D
Sorry for the bad joke. Was basically marketing my blog!
Easy auto seems to be a good concept..Hope it'll work out. :)
Sorry for that off-topic comment. These initiatives like "Easy Auto" will also work in cities like Chennai. And more than refusal it will help in reducing the "tale novu" of travel!
