In today's news, I came across an article which says that a website naming www.thetrafficpeople.net has been launched recently has been launched to avoid the everyday struggle with the country's unending traffic jams. It has been designed by Shailesh Sinha and gives updated traffic information from time to time. The designing team members go out on the roads to calculate the actual time lag because of any traffic diversion like a procession or jam.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The information is regularly updated during the peak traffic hours, between the morning office hours and again from 5 p.m. to about 9.30 p.m. The designing team behind this project consists of all youngsters. Some have four years of driving experience, some have six, some are fairly new and others who are as old as 10-year roadsters. All united with one aim - to do something about the traffic scenario of the country.

The website gives driving tips too. It also gives one the option to get SMS alerts on traffic information.

Interesting news! But, I am sckeptical about this for two reasons: 1. How far this designing team can sustain to give this inforamtion very regularly, considering the fact that the issue of traffic jam is too dynamic!! 2. This info is basically for a person who is already on the road, and obviously he will not be checking the net!!!
