Right to Information act (RTI) and transparency psaram42 - 16-AUG-2010

It creates posts like Chief Information Commissioner and what not, for providing the so called information. I admit I could not, nor was I interested in reading this kind of document. |

Should there be two wheeler lanes near signals? Bheema.Upadhyaya - 5-AUG-2010
I have been driving 2 wheelers for long. And now upgraded to 4 wheeler due to safety concerns. But recently I thought at least there should be 2 wheeler lanes near. I have attached my idea as picture. Yellow line means non-crossing line. This help 2 wheelers to come at front and stand in que. This idea has come to in spite of having knowledge of local driver mentality. |
