Sir, I wish to bring to the notice of the authorities concerned for corrective action at RTO and/ or Traffic Police to prevent cases of vehicles, especially the new two-wheelers, being freely used on the roads without the registration number. The basic purpose of the registration number with its specification of size, colour and format…

Defective number plates on the rise
June 3, 2017Sir, Nowadays it has become quite common to see vehicles, especially two-wheelers, to move around in the city with missing or defective number plates.

Traffic chaos on Saraswathipuram Main Roads
June 1, 2017Sir, Recently, the two prominent entry and exit roads in Saraswathipuram, 3rd Cross and 5th Cross, were asphalted by the civic authorities. Unfortunately, these two roads which also are the primary bus routes, seem to have been converted to two-way traffic by the users, despite the fact that these roads were marked as one-way many…
Bring in road discipline by booking traffic violators
May 29, 2017Sir, Mysuru city traffic is in a real mess. Riding two-wheelers with 3 or 4 persons, rash driving, speeding on the wrong side, jumping the signal, riding side by side talking loudly inconveniencing other road users and so on have become a common sight. What is shocking is overtaking from left side on cross roads….
Scooter is for two; not for too many !

Why humps at traffic signal points?
April 17, 2017Sir, I have been observing that Mysuru’s vehicular traffic is on the rise since 10 years. There are several traffic signals which have come up due to increased traffic at different junctions. Prior to traffic signals at these junctions, there were road humps to control the speed of vehicles. But when a new traffic signal…
Do these non-working traffic signals serve any purpose?
April 15, 2017Several signal lights that have been installed to regulate the rising traffic in the city are not working. These signals have been erected and solar panels have been attached to them to provide energy. Many such signal lights in busy areas including the ones at Freedom Fighter Vedanta Hemmige Circle, MUDA Circle and New Kantharaj…
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. The cops and home guards are lax in their duties. They will always be busy on their mobile phones. Majority of the home guards…
