We have enough experience in managing the congested and mixed traffic (You cannot avoid mixed traffic, you can ban some of them them in certain areas for certain hours e.g. heavy vehicles and animal driven vehicles), local administration has to be willing to invest money on road markings , traffic lights, cctvs, etc. on disposal of traffic experts, as also make bridges and skyways etc. Experts have successfully worked in many cities. Bombay, Delhi, Ahmedabad are living example.

Subject: RE: [MTC Global] Traffic Woes in Indian Cities -- Management Perspectives
I agree with prof. Chandrashekhar
Driving on indian roads is a nightmare..that takes place in day light.
An example of who to find on busy crossing..in meerut..begam pul
Bus, fellow car drivers..with cars of all sizes, cyclewalas, tampos, e-rickshaw..cycle rickshaws, ..one tonner trucks..dozens of motoorcycles' padestrians..with or with out children running in all directions....also dozens of small venders...
And if lucky..horse cart..bullock carts...tractors...and medium trucks also join the list.....
Its a complete chaos...
And yes there is a bichara traffic policewala..perched on the high pedestal..with a scanty roof..to protect him...screaming..and wistling..to get everyone in order...
When things get to messy..there would be one constable standing..at the opening of each of the 5 roads spilling on to square...
What mayhem...
There is a thing they have done...converted one of the roads..as one way partially....means you can go in..but not comeout of it...
We could try the following:
Separate lanes for especially for cycle and rickshaw walas...
Close some of roads for only one way traffic.
Build multistory parking lots 500mts away from city centers..but not more than that.
Not allow cars and four wheelers...except those small one tonners delivery goods to shops near the city center..
Some markets are free of cars in meerut..but I think where the lanes are narrow and too much crowd..all forms..of 2 ..3 and 4 four wheelers sshud be banned..except for elderly...and physically handicapped.

Basically there is total disregard for traffic regulations, by motorists as well as pedestrians. Who respects " zebra crossings"? There is only the rule of "might is right". If there are many pedestrians they cross with impunity.....on the other hand if the motorists are approaching at a high speed they acquire the right of way! The only route is very stiff monetary penalties along with"re-education. The long term plan is educate at kindergarten level.

Bangalore tops the list , so many other Indian Cities facing the heat. Many initiatives are taken [subway , fly-over, one way, Office Cab, extension of road, more buses , awareness program etc] but still it is not enough. Let us address the problem from management perspective.
Nepal tackles traffic woes with unique idea
Press Trust of India | Kathmandu
November 24, 2014 Last Updated at 13:45 IST
Grappling with massive traffic chaos, Nepal has introduced a unique way to tackle the issue ahead of the SAARC summit by restricting plying of private vehicles bearing odd registration numbers today and barring those with even numbers tomorrow.
The schools and other government institutions will remain close on Wednesday and Thursday -- the two days when 18th SAARC summit will take place in the capital where Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other leaders of the member countries of the regional grouping will participate.
"Vehicles having odd registration number are not allowed to ply today while vehicles having even numbers will not be allowed to run tomorrow," a Nepal government official said.
