Job Oppurtunites

Each and every traffic signal/junction in Pune (any city) is a major potential source for jobs during the peak hours. Each signal will require around 4-16 paid-volunteers to guard, stopping unruly/uncivilized drivers from jumping signals/stopping correctly during the peak hours. The actual work they have to do is hold a tight rope when the signal is red. So at a time a section of the paid-volunteers can hold ropes and other section can hold advertising placards. These volunteers could be employed/sponsored by the companies that are closeby the signals/junctions. The traffic is controlled somewhat, companies are getting extra publicity, people are getting paid, everybody is happy.

Oh well, i'm not joking. Some signals in Pune already have this kind of a setup. And i really think that this setup should be extended to almost all the notorious signals.

Actually pune'ites (which apperantly is a city of learned) should really be ashamed of requiring them to be held by rope to follow the traffic. Rope is generally used for animals to discipline them.

I really fancy a day, when people in pune would start following traffic signals without a need of rope or even a cop for that matter.

Yes, it is innovation. But quite sad indeed when the work of a traffic signal is getting done by some people.

Vivek,

this is the case with a lot of cities. I really fancy the day, when the supposedly citizens of the city, behave like the citizens of the city.
