Enforce 30 kmph speed limit within city limits and heavily penalize anyone who breaks this limit. No amount of good footpath or visible clothing can save us from these maniacs. We owe it to our own safety.

Finally! An honest car ad. Can't make it to work on time? Dance to the tune of traffic everyday and waste productive hrs sitting in a cage. This is the life apparently we should all aspire to.

Example of a progressive, inclusive and tolerant male driver in 2023. What can deputy CM @DKShivakumar do for our safety when drivers we share the roads with are such entitled men with a regressive outlook? Gender edu/sensitisation is necessary when driver's licence is issued.

@halairporttrfps @BlrCityPolice Thank you for contacting me. Location is on the footpath between Ittina Akya to Chaitanya school. I would not like to file any complaint against the vendor, but would like to have the footpath available for walking.

Have decades of aspiration for owning a car habituated us to condone criminal and negligent driving practices, even on city streets where people are walking in plain sight? Fixed the question.

A bus stop in Koramangala 1st block. Bus stop is ok, but the footpath is far from walkable, requires high altitude acrobatics to access. Solve last mile connectivity, make it safe, and more will opt for the bus. Took 15 rs and <15 min to reach my destination on Sarjapura rd.

Skywalks aren't the answer. Tunnels aren't a panacea. Painted pillars aren't calming the traffic. How about we make our streets safe by design? Like this.

@vigneshaero02 From inside the car - Nice. You step out - Can't walk anywhere without getting run over, can't stop by to buy some groceries on the way home, can't stop to say hi to neighbour, can't stop by for a darshini coffee. This is the western concept of utopia sold to us. It's hell.

@rakesh_hpr @arjitsoni12 Bangalore is not the most dense city in the world. Not even in top 100. There's Tokyo, nyc, hongkong, paris. All of them have far better public transport and pedestrian infra. Cars are not a measure of ease of movement or development in cities. It does show lack of infra.

Cycle counters at Doddanekundi and Graphite are counting nearly 1000 cyclists between them, which means 1000 less motoribikes or cars, yet we are determined to fail and uproot whatever bollards remain. /1 @BBMPCOMM @DULTBangalore @bicyclemayorblr PC: @ShrileshN

This is a design problem, not an enforcement issue. A car should not be able to climb on a footpath and park on it. It's a safety hazard for pedestrians and cyclists. Such things cannot be enforced in a city that has 1.1cr private vehicles. @DULTBangalore @bicyclemayorblr

Yesterday, while cycling on a track near Nehru Planetarium, I came across this (PFA). Are these cycle tracks meant for parking? @bicyclemayorblr @blrcitytraffic @masaleemips Kindly suggest what cyclists must do? #BLR #Bengaluru #cycle #track #cycling #commute #bangalore

That's coz the roads and cars are designed to enable this behaviour. We leave exercising restraint to the individual behind the wheel who cd be negligent or genuinely in trouble and losing control. Pedestrian shdnt be using body armour. FIX THE DESIGN to make streets safe.

Wide and empty road, clean footpath, all looks cool but then one killer comes who thinks he owns the roads and the footpaths, who does not value the lives of others, who knows the weakness of Indian Laws, just crush the people with his car - BEHAVIOUR!
