Sir,

For some reason the Traffic Police have done away with the amber lights and most traffic signals are just operating the red and green signals now.

This means a sudden transition from green to red, which invariably catches many motorists midway through the traffic junction, after the lights turn red, for no fault of theirs. It is also creating a dangerous situation for the motorists who try to stop suddenly after seeing the lights turn red.

There’s a reason why the amber light is there — it is a simple but highly effective design that has stood the test of time the world over.

On behalf of the law-abiding motorists and with Dasara round the corner, I request the Traffic Police to rectify this issue as soon as possible at all traffic signals.
