    Traffic police are busy collecting fines from 2 wheelers at Nanthoor junction. Nobody bothered to patrol these roads. Appears, high end vehicles are exempted from RTO rules. Completed failure of Traffic Police and RTO in maintaining road decipline

    Putting rumblers or humps is uncivilised method. When RTA thinks that the indicators blinking are decorative lights, ordinary people who got driving license by l;payment do not know about it. Whom to blame in this third world country?

    Driving Riding and even walking in Mangalore is a nightmare. Maniac bus drivers, fwtgued long distance heavy vehicle drivers, rash overloaded two wheeler riders and arrogant car drivers are responsible for deaths. To add to this badly designed roads, circle, traffic intersections add to this. The intersection near the Godrej Alpine building on airport road is a death trap, not a single day passes without an accident , we understand it’s an important road (given regular VIP movement) and speed breakers may not be ideal, only solution is traffic lights or the divider needs to be scientifically designed as turning either way is fraught with risk to life and limb. The top police brass pass several times on this road but with a siren blaring pilot Jeep -

    RIP ,Shekarappa. The Traffic system and the driving system is very poor in Mangalore city day by day. I think there's no series punishment to the offenders. MCC must put rumbling system in all circles without any pressure from political leaders. Then only 90% over speeding the vehicles can be controlled.
