This scene at 80 feet road in Koramangala, Bangalore (near Sony World). This lorry occupied most of the road space leaving small gap for other vehicles. 
The traffic in Bangalore is getting worse everyday. For a 7km ride from my home to office often takes me 45 mins in a two wheeler! This is ridiculous. The one thing I hate here is the traffic. I appreciate the initiative ToI has taken - UnlockBangalore. This will create awareness and as well as effective solutions by the people who ultimately suffer. Government should be ashamed of these infrastructure woes. The new Airport story will make the lives of travellers even more pathetic.
In one of the campaign ads of ToI, it is given that almost 1000 vehicles are being added to this city of narrow roads, everyday! If this rate continues, I think, there will be a time, where one should walk on vehicles rather than on roads to go to any place. Fantasy!
Even today morning, while crossing very small junction in a non-crucial service road, I waited for 15 mins! My eight month experience of traffic here, I observed that everyone wants to turn on every possible side and get out of sight as soon as possible causing chaos. Due to some bunch of idiotic guys, the whole area gets jammed for long time making more victims of trafficophobia!
What is my contribution? here it is - by increasing the rate. Rate of what? The Rate of addition of vehicles to the Bangalore roads. Increasing it to 1001 vehicles/day. How? this is how.

This is really getting bad here. Only solution to this is to get ur home near to ur work place but this affects all other aspects of our life.
Thirudanai parthu ozhikkavittal thiruttai ozhikka mudiyathu...
same applies here.
ya, I agree. Already this induced some lifestyle changes, work time shifting by many employers, induced some to take work-from-home option even, but the solution to the overall problem is not addressed.
