orkut group on pune traffic
Just checked out Savepunetraffic.com and also created a new community at orkut about Pune traffic. Hopefully many Pune citizens will join and discuss solutions to the traffic mess in Pune. Orkut.com is a very active and powerful site but its software system is horrible. It’s very rare to find apps that crash as regularly as the orkut server. Even with Google behind the orkut venture, it’s surprising that the app is of such low quality. Perhaps it just goes to prove that even the best can create bad software.

I am a Pune native and concerned about Pune’s unplanned growth, the childish civic authorites , etc.
Would like to discuss on traffic problems and basic infrastructure problems of Pune.
Could you send me a orkut invite of related community?

Over past one year I have worked on making a series of short video’s providing driver training and education. The aim of the video’s is to move beyond the traditional clutch-accelerator training provided by the otherwise friendly neighbourhood driving instructor.
All the video’s are available at - http://driving-india.blogspot.com/
The 14 video’s currently available cover following topics -
Video 1: Covers the concept of Blind spots
Video 2: Introduces the principle of Mirrors, Signal and Manoeuvre
Video 3: At red lights, stop behind the stop line
Video 4: At red lights there are no free left turns
Video 5: The Zebra belongs to pedestrians
Video 6: Tyres and Tarmac (rather than bumper to bumper)
Video 7: Merging with the Main road
Video 8: Leaving the Main Road
Video 9: Never Cut Corners
Video 10: Show Courtesy on roads
Video 11: 5 Rules that help deal with Roundabouts
Video 12: Speed limits, stopping distances & 2 seconds rule
Video 13: Lane discipline and overtaking
Video 14: Low beams or high beams?

pune traffic can be saved by many ways…off which one of the main and strong way to do it is create civic awareness.People simply hardly have it.PArticulaly when in public people take pride in deviating from disciplines and behaving at will n wish rather then just simply being humble and good civilians.

Pune people are simply indisciplined and careless. a strong disciplinary action and a harsh penalty for the traffic law breakers will only cure them.
Hi tech. products such as speed gun, hidden video cameras etc. should be employed to catch traffic law breakers and a severe penalty should be charged to them. The traffic police department needs to be very strict and stringent in executing this. Social forums and people like us should put a continuous pressure on the traffic police department to make people follow the rules.

Hi,
This message is to Dr Joglekar. I really appreciate your work. I was wondering if you tried to propose a change in the way driving tests are conducted in India. I feel that we should have everyone go through a written (objective) test of traffic rules. License should be issued to only those who pass the written as well as road test. I think what we need is strict road traffic laws and its strict and honest enforcement. I think such videos should be distributed to every public/private sector organization and every person (employees etc) associated with that organization should be asked to go through them for at least 30mins everyday. I think we need laws just like we have stricter laws for drink driving.

I have spent some time at South Delhi and enjoyed the bus service there. I believe that it is also possible in Pune. For that reason, I am building a unique map of Pune, which can be used for better bus services. It cannot solve the complete traffic problem, but a part of it. If anyone have good understanding of Pune traffic, I would welcome him to join me in making this map.
If someone is very keen, please call me at +91-9923794498
