Truck eats up walking space..

Truck eats up walking space.. pg 8, Mumbai Mirror, 25th April 2013

The better way to bring to a halt all these inconveniences is to declare all streets up to 3 lanes to be Non Parking  at all times.This one act will ensure No Vehicles stay beyond a max. time limit of 2 minutes if needed to disembark a passenger/member of the vehicle.

All Vehicles should have their Owners Mobile Numbers registered with the R.T.O.
Policemen should cease to Tow Vehicles. Instead they should send an SMS to the RTO Control Room. The Control Room in turn sends an SMS to the Vehicle Owner asking him to clear the vehicle immediately. The clock starts. The minute the Vehicle Owner or its driver approaches to clear the vehicle he meets the Policeman. The Policemen asks the Vehicle Owner or Driver to SMS the Control Room, and in turn gets the Fine amount displayed on his Mobile. He either pays the amount and collects receipt, or has it debited to his account, which gets paid ASAP.The Policeman informs the RTO the time when the Vehicle has cleared the spot.

This will avoid all corruption, and ensure Road Discipline.

Currently we have many vehicles that park haphazard on Four Bungalow Lane because of the presence of a road side market. The two lane street thus gets converted to a one lane street, causing untold hardship for all.
If this way to fine the vehicles is adopted, soon we will have a smooth travel anywhere in the city.
