पुन्हा पुन्हा तीच बेशिस्त
पुण्यात गाडी चालवणं म्हणजे दोरीवरची आणि जिवाचीही कसरत असते. आपल्याला सिग्नल असला, तरीही सगळीकडे नीट पाहूनच पुढे जायला लागतं. कोण, कसा, कधी मधे घुसेल हे सांगता येत नाही. आपल्याला सिग्नल नसताना पुढे जाणं नेहमीचंच आहे. सिग्नल लागायला थोडा वेळ असला आणि सिग्नल लाल झाला असला, तरीही पुढे घुसणाऱ्यांची संख्या भरपूर असते. काल अशीच परिस्थिती मेहेंदळे गॅरेजच्या चौकात झाली होती. आता तिथला रस्ता मोठा झालाय. त्यामुळे वाहतुकीची कोंडी होण्याचे तसे काहीच कारण नाही; पण मधे घुसणाऱ्यांचं काय करायचं? ही क्‍लिप पाहून कोण कुठून येतंय, कोणाला सिग्नल आहे, हे ओळखताही येत नाही. आमने-सामने आलेल्या दोन बस. अधेमधे घुसणारे इतर, त्यामुळे सुमारे अर्धा तास इथे ट्रॅफिक जॅम होता. बरं आपण थोडावेळ थांबलो, जरा मागे राहिलो, तर इतर गाड्या जाऊन ट्रॅफिक सुरळीत होईल, इतका साधा विचारही कोणी करत नाही. अशानं कसं होणार?
Only option to this problem is strict traffic rule enforcement on pune roads. There need to be positive fear of traffic police in Pune. But a standard excuse is given by police - "No Man Power"!!!
There are two mandatory solutions for this. There is no third alternative.
1. Improve the PMT service. Make it cheaper, fater , better. See the Bangalore Municpal Transport is making profits for last 09 years. It is the cheapest city transport in India.

2. Pune Traffic Police, must act pro-actively and manage the traffic. If they prevent the traffic offence , then the Fine and Ltem will not required.
Pune Traffic police is crying for
Man-power, this is only because of our "non-active" political leaders of Pune. Here all the leaders from all the parties need to be blamed.
Pune has all the rights to get more police manpower. When Local, State and Central taxes are compared Pune is on second place in Maharashtra.
Pune pays the maximum road-tax in Maharashtra, becausse maximum vehicles are registered in MH-12 and MH-14 series.
Signal modanaryanchi jar wahane japta karayala lagle tar shistit loka talyawar yetil. Asa 10 lokanchi wahan japti zali tar koni traffic rules modayala dhajawanar nahi.
Dear All,
It is always very easy to blame the politicians and police. However, above all, I feel, the self-discipline and sense of responsibility is utmost important to resolve the traffic problems.
When we drive a vehicle on roads, it is our responsibility to drive it safely by following the traffic rules. We all know the story of two goats crossing a narrow bridge. Like the wise goat, who lied down so that the other goat can pass over him, on the narrow roads of Pune, we should show the prudence of giving others first chance to pass by. Why do we need police to look over us? We are certainly self-sufficient to follow the traffic rules and observe discipline. Yes, we on our own can solve the traffic congestion problems because we are the root cause of it.
This is crazy traffic!

anonymous dated 26 July has raised one of prime issue, THE NUMBER OF POLICEMAN. I mean I don't understand we are already contributing ~8% of direct NATIONAL tax and this is what we have to face. I am pointing towards lack of proper funding for police department in general. That sector is so VITAL and yet not properly funded and total manpower is undercut. You know what, it gives a feeling that we need another kind of uprise like during freedom fighting days with bunch of good leaders to guide us again and help FIGHT FOR CIVIL RIGHTS.
Another way to see it is this is a lesson learned and so hopefully state govt pays proper attention towards "FUNDING" for "INTEGRAL DEPARTMENTS" and NOT LET SUCH THINGS HAPPEN IN UPCOMING & EXPANDING CITIES LIKE NASIK, KOLHAPUR, NAGPUR and all by having enough police force so that such situations could be avoided.
to overcome this problem every one has to perform his responsibilities diligently.We blame traffic police and politician but forget our responsibilities.If you doubt you can check it
