Just another morning in Noida ....

Hi..Like many of the professionals working in and around Noida ,my
biggest challenge of the day starts much before I reach my office

i.e.-Traffic

The 6 km journey from Vasundhara to Sec-62 might take about 40-45
minutes..ie at average speed of about 8 km/hr.
Navigating through choc-a-bloc traffic and serpentine car queues is no
smaller a feat than securing F1 pole.Situation aggravates to such an extent
during peak office hours,that noblest amongst us could be seen landing
expletives as well as fists on the nearby drivers purely out of
frustration.Frayed tempers often results into major friction.

Its a funny to see people using 3.1 Mbps USB broadband while driving at
3.1 km/hr in Chaotic Blunderland.It also symbolises lopsided growth
story of India where infrastructure hasn't kept pace with economic
development....but lets save that story for another day.

Coming back to traffic ,its a lopsided affair too.In morning,the left
side of the road for Ghaziabad to Noida is packed with other side
almost deserted.In evenings,the returning traffic saturates the Noida
to ghaziabad side of Road,other side having scant number of vehicles.

Occasionally, to save time cars move to the wrong side of the road(which
is almost empty).But are intercepted midway by traffic police and
forced to take a U-turn into the correct but congested lane ,thus
worsening the situation due the haphazard moving cars.

But whenever I have managed to bypass the traffic police in wrong
lane,I end up saving 33% of journey time and also fuel consumed.This makes me wonder ...why to follow rules by rote when its worsening the situation.

Hence I suggest to officially allow a extra lane in wrong side of the lane DURING PEAK HOURS ONLY.This one lane will reduce the burden of traffic on the left side by 1/3 rd which means stoppage time and fuel consumed at traffic light also reduces by 1/3rd.Multiply this benefit by
millions of vehicles passing everyday for whole year and we end up
saving a lot! Not to mention lesser frustrated people...
To Illustrate.....following pics are provided....and trust me...All we

need is a simple solution....

NOT RAWKET SCIENCE !!!
