Traffic Tetris and how to solve traffic problems…

I like driving. And, I like the concept of road trips - which by the way does not mean getting high on any intoxicant while on the road. What I like is the whole ritual of driving or riding. When I had the bike (I still do, but I guess my fascination is dwindling) it meant putting on a jacket, helmet and a pair of sunglasses. Now that I have a car (a beautiful Fiat), it involves... well just the sunglasses. Like with all motoring enthusiasts, I am disheartened by the current state of traffic in, well India. Coming from the pits of traffic hell that is Aurangabad, I have seen people in vehicles come in five directions. Where Aurangabad traffic forms the basis for the real life demonstration of Brownian Motion, traffic in other cities like Mumbai, Bangalore or Pune have sheer volumes. In this post, I present a few suggestions on how to address our traffic problems.
