Pedestrians literally running like Usain St. Leo Bolt just to cross the road. 📍 Mahatma Gandhi circle

Never cross the road the pedestrian signal turns green, or a car driver will run over you. I had 13 seconds to cross 50 feet, I waited 4 seconds to let a car driver pass, otherwise I would have been dead. Now I have 9 seconds to cross & mid way it turned red. What should I do?

Why do Indians feel so entitled to litter the peanut skins and the plastic packing on our trains? How are so shameless and filthy?

Car driver comes close to crashing into my cycle, HONKS to let me know he will crash into me if I don't move aside, & then proceeds to illegal park nearby a car that was already illegally parked on footpath. Car drivers are parasites of urban society.

No gated society nonsense, just dense mixed use buildings with no wall barriers. Hope CMOTamilNadu encourages Vingroup to enter real estate and hospitality business in TN too. VinFast India are already operating in hyper mode. 📍HCMC

Indian car drivers are not only ignorant of the law, but also completely devoid of empathy and will block the pathway of an ambulance, because how else can they make a right turn. Source:

Vanakkam Chennai Metro Rail can we have a protected temporary pathway until metro works are over at Kathipara. Even a simple connected barricade will suffice. This is how I walked with my foreign guest to UP town from Alandur metro station.

Puducherry which was once a french colony had proper roads with footpaths, but now it's all gone. Pedestrians have to struggle walking anywhere with arrogant motorists honking and threatening to run you over. There are zero continuous footpaths in the city.

We have smooth roads, lane markings, stop line, and zebra crossing now, but motorists still refuse to stop for pedestrians No respect for elderly, no respect for road rules, no fear of fines We must have a traffic signal every 50 meters on every road and force motorists to stop

This park under Velachery flyover has been ready for almost a week now, but remains shut for public use. Are we waiting for some minister's to make time in their busy schedule to open it?

Crossing the road shouldn't be a matter of life and death. U turn signaless traffic management inside cities is a curse for pedestrians. There is a bus stop on both sides of this zebra crossing that people will need to use CUMTA | Transport Authority 📍 Inner ring road, Puzhithivakkam MRTS

Without a lift it is a struggle for elderly, disabled, and wheelchair passengers at St. Thomas Mount (STM) railway station. ₹11.05 crore was spent on redevelopment under ABS scheme, but no lifts were planned & installed despite STM serving as an important transport hub.

Another main victim of unscientific U-turn traffic management are buses. With their higher turning radius, buses start their turn from the outermost lane, but car drivers won't wait 10 seconds and let the bus turn. Eventually traffic police intervention is needed.
