Path-clearing idea

This is just an idea.

I took one hour and fifty minutes to reach office today. And my office is about 13kms away, taking the shortest route. Normally it takes 50-55 minutes.

Every town and every path in that town has those points, where if anything goes wrong, then a lot gets affected. Timings, work, money, frustration, stress, etc. And the chances of things going wrong (at these certain points) are really high but only at certain times.

So here's the idea. Hire part-time traffic management employees. I know it isn't a path-breaking idea but it, definitely, is a path-clearing idea. Today, when nothing was moving at this one point – at the turning towards Nahar Amrit Shakti in Chandivli – they weren't the traffic police who helped (coz that point hasn't been allotted any traffic police personnel). They were some volunteers who found themselves irretrievably stuck there and therefore, just decided to volunteer and channelize the vehicles appropriately. And it isn't rocket science doing this kind of stuff.

Will also give government some brownie point for generating opportunities of employment.

    Government earning brownie points…. Why???? Having some volunteers to guide traffic everyday is not a really tough job. Let me share with you a smart option of what I have seen in Pune.
    Like every city in India, Pune has its own set of problems on the road. Add to it the fact that traffic rules just never seem to have evolved in Pune. So if its got wheels, it will go and fight for its place on the street.
    There is this group of Senior cirizens who have taken up the job of helping out the traffic situation by volunteering. Morning 8 to 10 and evening 6 to 8, you might find these people who stand at junctions and assist in directing traffic.
    The routine is simple, meet at 7 am, exercise, duty for 2 hrs. Evening chat at 5, duty from 6 to 8. Most take turns in despatching the duty.
    Whats more, if you got 10 people standing on the roads at peak hours, its potential for advertisers to host their name on their traffic safty jackets. And yes, they have realised this- the money earned is pooled into a common place as a corpus for anyone who might require financial support toweards any medical aliment in future.
