Techie Signals a Free MG Road (Published in Bangalore Mirror)

Last week, I had delivered a presentation at the Mobilicity Conference organized by Praja in association with the Center for Infrastructure, Sustainable Transport and Urban Planning (CiSTUP), Indian Institute of Science, on ways to improve Bangalore’s chaotic traffic and infrastructure condition.

One of the proposals in my presentation related to making MG Road and Cubbon Road a signal-free corridor. I am pleased to say that this proposal was featured on the front page of Bangalore Mirror on November 24, 2009.

The complete article can be read here and downloaded here, and my presentation titled “Tackling Bangalore’s Traffic & Infrastructure Crisis” can be found here.

Please feel free to share your views and comments on the proposals with me.

Vijay Padiyar - I'm a friendly guy with a witty sense of humor. I was born in Baroda, Gujarat and am currently settled in Bangalore, Karnataka. I'm a Leo by birth and certainly by character! So pick up any good book on zodiac signs, flip to the Leo section, and you'll know me rather well!
