Motorists not following the signals, but the vehicle ahead!
April 9, 2017Sir, This is in response to the letter by Raghu on questioning the existence of zebra crossings in the city and ignoring red traffic signals by many vehicle-users (Star of Mysore dated Mar. 22).

Check rampant traffic violations across city
April 8, 2017Sir, A number of letters have appeared in Star of Mysore regarding rampant traffic violations in the city. What is intriguing is the silence on the part of the authorities concerned.

Killer road humps near Bandipur
April 5, 2017Sir, On some stretches of National Highway (NH) 67 passing through Bandipur and Mudumalai forests, the authorities have fixed road humps.

Traffic woes: An honest approach
April 4, 2017Sir, Recently, a news item titled “No Helmet ? No Insurance?
