What should Mumbai do to ease its traffic burden and improve its roads?

What should Mumbai do to ease its traffic burden and improve its roads?... The Times of India, pg 2, 3rd Feb 2014

To make Mumbai a livable city, I give my suggestions as below:

A responsible team should be created to study the roads of Mumbai and try and convert maximum number to one way streets. This one act will ensure a continuous unhindered flow of traffic. 

Traceability in all work done. If a job is executed, we must know who has done it, who has inspected the job, who has approved the job and certified for use. Once accountability sets in we get our money’s worth on all expenditure.

Having traveled by Public transport(BEST bus) and Auto Rickshaws, today I like many citizens of this city have been gifted with back related issues.

This is mainly because of the constant shocks encountered in course of a journey to work or otherwise. Surely the spine is not designed for such shocks. I would appreciate if citizens are not loaded with health related issues caused by negligence of others in their sunset years.

My suggestion is to have one speed monitor gifted to the RTO.

They will choose their spot of observation. A team will capture the speed breaking vehicle and another team will stop the vehicle and immediately levy the fine for the offence. The first offence will be charged Rs 1000/- and every next offence will be charged at Rs 5000/-. The money so collected must strictly be used for procuring the next speed monitor.

At regular intervals one can read reports and complaints of Vehicles being parked wrongly.

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 patrol a spot and 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 the Vehicle owners Mobile. He either pays the amount and collects receipt on the spot, or has it debited to his account, which gets paid ASAP. The Policeman informs the RTO control room the time when the Vehicle has cleared the spot.

This will avoid all corruption, and ensure Road Discipline.
