Bangalore Live Traffic Cams - finally!
I stumbled upon a website that hosts Bangalore Traffic Cams. I have been hoping for one of these sites ever since I had the opportunity to tune into Nashville traffic cams using Konfabulator widgets.

They have live feeds from 5 locations - Brigade road, Basaveshwara Circle, Hosur Road (in from of Sasken), Mekhri circle and Bannerghatta road.

I found these feeds quite acceptable and neat. And I have been excited by the idea of checking the traffic in front of Sasken on Hosur road before heading off home from work.

Yes dil maange more... I wish there were Cams at the following other locations:
  • MG road (from Ebony restaurant on Barton center)
  • Cubbon road (from Manipal Center)
  • Trinity circle
  • Richmond flyover (atop the Satyam office)
  • Airport road junction from Diamond district
  • Forum mall junction
  • Kormangala  80 feet road junction
  • Indiranagar junction (from KFC, th view is great there)
  • Ulsoor lake (from Philips s/w building)
Meanwhile take benefit of these cams. Hope someone is reading this and more Cams get deployed. I also wish they had 360 degree cams and allow us to control some of these.... If wishes were horses....

Road safety: 17 online driver education videos for Indian road users

Almost 10% of the global road traffic accidents occur in India. Much of the world wide web is full of sarcasm & mocking of the indisciplined driving on Indian roads. Unfortunately in since 60 years since independence the authorities have failed to publish a National Highway code. Licences are given to anyone who can demonstrate an ability to use the clutch-accelerator, consequently the motoer driving schools teach just that and no more. Concepts such as - blindspots, principle of MSM, the tyre & tarmac rule, 2 second gap and most improtantly giving way are not known to the average Indian driver.

This site http://driving-india.blogspot.com/ has been created with the purpose of providing driver education and training to all Indian road users. It is by far the most comprehensive website providing training in defensive driving. Learning simple road habits can make our roads safe and also free up congestion caused by traffic chaos.

At present 17 driver education videos aimed at changing the driving culture on Indian roads are available. The video are unique in that the footage is real life action from streets of London. We have copied the Western habits: Replaced the dhoti with denim, high rise buildings for Indian cottages, burgers and coke instead of Indian breads and perhaps sugarcane juice. Surely we can copy the Western ways of travelling too.

To watch the videos, interested readers may visit: http://driving-india.blogspot.com/

The videos cover the following topics:

Video 1: Covers the concept of Blind spots
Video 2: Introduces the principle of Mirrors, Signal and Manoeuvre
Video 3: At red lights, stop behind the stop line
Video 4: At red lights there are no free left turns
Video 5: The Zebra belongs to pedestrians
Video 6: Tyres and Tarmac (rather than bumper to bumper)
Video 7: Merging with the Main road
Video 8: Leaving The Main Road
Video 9: Never Cut Corners
Video 10: Show Courtesy on roads
Video 11: 5 Rules that help deal with Roundabouts
Video 12: Speed limits, stopping distances, tailgating & 2 seconds rule
Video 13: Lane discipline and overtaking
Video 14: Low beam or high beam?
Video 15: Parallel (reverse parking) made easy
Video 16: Give the cyclist the respect of a car
Video 17: Dealing with in-car condensation

Many thanks
