How long does it take to get past a criss-cross junction in Bangalore during no-so-peak traffic hours? The answer depends on...Does the junction have any traffic cop deployed?
Yes, without cop, there is usually a dead lock at junctions like these. Vehicles rushing in to the junction from all the four ways, with no one having the patience or common sense to let one set of travellers cross before another, its Chaos. There could be vehicles of length of about hundreds of meters stuck helpless. No one is able to move an inch!
Why is it so? Do we always need a cop to get us desciplined? This in a way highlights the lack of consideration among the public. We Indians are usually great family (wo)men, we care for our families, respect our collueges etc. But if only we could extend some of this consdiration towards the other fellow citizen, we will have a better place to live in. Be it by not honking the bikes unnessecerily or by making a way to the other vehicle at the crisscross like above.
