But at present you could\u00a0\u00a0not predict the duration of your trip before leaving\u00a0\u00a0home .\u00a0 The fact of that those moments have passed. They are gone. What&#8217;s lacking are sincerity and\u00a0\u00a0professional\u00a0\u00a0approach\u00a0\u00a0of Traffic police Jammu to regulate traffic system. Leaving improvement in traffic entirely to concerned authorities is an unfair preposition playing in a blame game. Criticism is easy suggesting a viable solution needs mastery. There are no easy answers to the problems of traffic congestion. Traffic jams cause inconvenience\u00a0\u00a0to the people of Jammu. With this in background the write-up intended primarily focusing on analyzing the traffic congestion scenario of the Jammu city and possible solutions. However, the frequent VVIPs and VIPs movements in the cities are posing\u00a0\u00a0inconvenience\u00a0\u00a0to people to move on city roads. Surprisingly, one failed to understand why traffic police\u00a0\u00a0has switched off traffic lights\u00a0\u00a0in many crossings and seen regulating traffic manually.\u00a0\u00a0In a city with moral decline at its peak and suggesting morality as a cultural system every evil the sight of which edifies a God is justified. Traffic misbehavior reflects overall moral decline in our Society. Just drive on any road you are victim of erratic driving habits, ignorance on how to take over, how to keep minimum distance between two vehicles, lane driving, use of higher beams during night, improper parking etiquettes in narrow lane\u00a0\u00a0colonies, and\u00a0\u00a0in front of other house, shops, Malls overstepping queues in traffic jams, driving with mobile phone on near ear with neck bended with a child in lap.\u00a0 Is there any speed check radar in city? Oh these speeding killing machines they call them matadors, motor bikes they overtake you with a lethal acrobatics. Disturbing are\u00a0 traffic etiquette and behaviour, as they can contribute to accidents, congestion, and an overall unpleasant driving experience, we expect Traffic authorities\u00a0 besides enforcing traffic regulations strictly have to be proactive shall\u00a0 upload educative videos, pamphlets, conduct some awareness campaign. It should be mandatory to keep a mobile number on the dashboard if at times you are compelled to park your vehicle in front of other house\u00a0\u00a0with space constraints you can be called.<\/p>\n<p>At the time of issuing Registration certificate and driving licence to a person\u00a0\u00a0people must be tell about that if you parked your vehicle in front of other house a police complaint of Wrongful restraint under Section\u00a0\u00a0of the BNS\u00a0\u00a0against the person who owns the vehicle or who parked the vehicle at wrong place.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the past when Basant Rath was IG Traffic,\u00a0\u00a0traffic used to be well regulated\u00a0\u00a0by traffic police with very less traffic jams.
