Yes, we all know that every one are in a hurry these days to complete ones tasks, reach destination on time, overtake people in life, get thinks done in a flash. But there are places and times where hurry brings tears rather than smiles. We all know about highways, etc etc where we see signs of "Go slow". But one place we don't see such signs are near a traffic signals. When the signal reaches zero or about to reach zero people tend to rush to cross the roads as signal is reaching zero. But in that mad rush to cross the road, they don't realize that as the signal reaches zero, the vehicles tend to accelerate more to cross the signal. There is every chance that we may meet with an accident. This is a scenario at every place, every signal. It is not that we don't know that we should not cross but our state of mind during signal crossing makes fall prey to freak accidents. As elders we need to guide the younger generations in places like this but it is commonly observed that everyone are in a hurry in such places. We have to note a point here that during every signal change, an yellow signal comes up for the vehicles to slow up and a cooling period will be given before the next signal comes up. This is the time we have to cross the period. At many places zebra crossings are not laid at which people tend to cross at their will and wish. At many places we also see signals for pedestrians which gives a clear indication for the people who wanted to cross the road. Government should take care to include this pedestrian signal at each traffic junctions for ease of road crossing and anyone trying to cross the road during the time when pedestrian signal is red should be heftily fined. Also, instructions when to cross the road should be included at all the junctions. The traffic police should be more agile observing the pedestrians and should warn them if they are crossing during wrong signals.
