Reclaim our streets from cars, cows, stray dogs, poster, banner and other menaces. Pedestrians, wheelchair users, and cyclists deserve safer streets.

Closely monitor the Maroon creta car. He changes three lanes, goes from far right to far left, only to completely block the lane so that he can turn right. Poor road planning + poor lane discipline = disaster We try to fix this disaster with band-aids like flyovers, which only further exacerbates the problem. Pedestrians suffer the most on OMR. CUMTA | Transport Authority do you have an actual urban planner in your team?!

Average walking speed of a fully able bodied human is 1.2–1.4 m/s (4.1-4.8 ft/s) But ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಸಂಚಾರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ BengaluruTrafficPolice gave only 6 seconds to cross nearly 100 ft when one needs minimum 25-30 seconds. 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?

Vanakkam Thanjavur District Police Tamil Nadu Police Car driver exceeding driving at 160 kmph and exceeded the speed limit by 50 kmph while recording video on his phone while driving. Please suspend the licence, impound the vehicle and issue challans. No question on who was driving either, the car driver was kind enough to self incriminate.

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.

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.

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.

A children's play area was built on footpath under DMK with a Congress councillor and inaugurated under TVK Vijay in Aadhav Arjuna constituency. Now it's a car park. No party wants to fix the urban mess, but every single party working towards serving car owners.

The useless govt. of DMK can build only useless flyovers for cars in Velachery, but not a single proper footpath. 1 trillion USD economy is a sham! Elderly pedestrians are going under Greater Chennai Corporation lorries in broad daylight. Velachery 100 ft road is a perpetual mess!

It will take another 100 years before car brained Indians realise cities made for cars isn't something good to be replicated. Actually good cities will prioritise pedestrians and public transit first.

Its common for car drivers to curse and abuse you when they are caught red handed, so just ignore them and keep reporting.Even though Greater Chennai Traffic Police stopped issuing fines for online complaints, they are taking action.Most of the car owners were warned and they removed their cars

Walking 1 km on a bus route road to Puzhithivakkam MRTS station. Not even a cm of footpaths or cycle lanes, but there are plenty of pedestrians and cyclists. CUMTA | Transport Authority KGB IAS when will we start seeing footpaths in Chennai? Pedestrian & cyclists deserve better!

Sink holes are not uncommon on urban roads especially when there are crazy levels of road tunneling & unchecked water drains leakage. Good job by Greater Chennai Traffic Police in barricading, diverting traffic, & keeping everyone safe 📍RK mutt road,Mylapore Source

Every road is unnecessarily filled with honking. At peak hours, the average 100 db at GST road, Alandur. This causes hearing loss and high BP even if our brains have adapted to ignore the noises. This is not a civilized way to live in 2025. Greater Chennai Traffic Police please ban honking!

Increasing number of buses is useless if we don't eliminate private cars from our roads. A single illegally parked car was blocking multiple buses along route for the past 15 minutes.

Pedestrians will never be safe until we build bollard protected footpaths. Car drivers will keep running over pedestians at high speeds because the system protects them. Legislators and judiciary don't care about the plight of pedestians because they have tax payer funded cars.
