Now, a Web site to save you from traffic jams
April 13, 2009 10:46 IST

Are you fed up with the long traffic snarls during peak hours, by sudden processions or rallies resulting in jams?

A new Web site now claims to provide up-to-date information about the traffic situation across the national capital and even offers solutions to all your traffic-related problems.

The Web site 'www.Thetrafficpeople.Net' gives inputs about what is happening in and around the city and guides you to avoid jams and disturbances on the roads.

"We give time-to-time information on traffic situations. People can visit our Web site and get the latest information on traffic jams, processions or rallies resulting in slow vehicular movement and on any sort of diversion," the Web site's developer Shailesh Sinha said.

Sinha, an MBA from Nagpur University, has a team of 50 young people who collect information on traffic movement by coordinating with the traffic police or civic agencies and help people locate an easy route for their journey.

"Our reporters also go out on the roads to assess real-time traffic situations," Sinha said.

The aim of the Web site is to provide information related to traffic on a regular basis.

 "As of now, we work during peak hours, that is am-11.30 am and 5 pm to 9.30 pm," he said, adding "we plan to increase the timing, if need be".

The portal also guides people on do's and don'ts to be followed while driving and suggest a number of ways to avoid traffic jams.

"We also give our inputs to various radio channels so that people while listening to them can get the latest information on traffic situations," he said.

The portal also offers news alert service at a cost of less than Rs 100 per month. "People can subscribe to get information on traffic and vehicular movements," Sinha said.

People can also write blogs and discuss about penalties, offences, vehicular movements or on any other matter related to traffic on the Web site.
