Call for ideas... everyday traffic problems

One of my colleague from work was very excited and happy...thing is he worked on a proposal, a solution for traffic congestion at the cross roads.. ..everyone gets pissed but he went little further and tried solving it....got an article published in daily and one fine day got a response from traffic commissioner...such public-govt administrative partnership is although something most logical..but happening just recently ...and is very encouraging,...

My friend was pretty sympathetic with the conditions at this traffic control room.. "they work 12 hrs a day..continuously answering a beeping radio...following up an orderly on certain case ..dictating certain purchase requisition to a clerk who is getting words handpicked from the whole cluttered mingled conversations"... in fact .....As in good ol'days, from changing the lane if policeman is seen coming to partnering them on such solutions, we have come a long way, at list in patches.

Other thing I noticed that we are starting to voice our concerns using Web as a Social Platform ..there is a trust and hope developing that my voice will get heard and not as a chance incidence like a message in the bottle floating on a web cloud. Today Orkut community provides, although in some make-shift way, a social tool for special interest groups like 'Save Pune traffic' groups to virtually come together.
