    Traffic in Udupi is becoming murderously aggressive. Just observe: 1. At crossroads, junctions and circles, the vehicles are in great hurry, apparently for the delayed attendance in the bar; 2. Absolutely no respect for the zebra crossings! Just watch at the Brahmagiri Circle and many would be pulped to death if they had shown their Road-crossing right; 3. The loud scary noise-polluting sound of horns of private buses, my God; 4. Private buses conveniently parking to alight/upload passengers in the middle of roads and at critical turning points so nonchalantly; 5. The highhandedness of auto Rikshaw drivers with audacious me-first, you-go-to-hell attitude. The Traffic Police & Hoysalago binging around so impotently!!

    I agree...especially at zebra crossing....no vehicles are slowing down and pedestrians just have to run to the other side with the baby in hand or old aged person etc etc. Motorists think whole road is meant only for them...
