    RIP.It's high time that SL police place their personnel on 24 hrs duty. I've observed that where ever the traffic police is controlling the traffic flow is somewhat smoother. I.e at the signals and at vehicles entering the main road from inner lanes.Then cases like drink driving must be treated very seriously. 24 x7 operation will also bring in good govt revenue too.Start fining motorists who are entering the yellow box at all signals when the path is not cleared. However, mark them first and have an awareness campaigns. Fine all vehicles blocking the main lanes at the signal intersections. I.e. most of the motorists block half the lane at right turns at the signal lights. Specifically the 3 wheelers and motor cycles.All purpose is lost if the traffic police start a campaign and make it ineffective after a short period. YOU MUST HIT WHERE IT HURTS!Good luck!
