Bangalore is doing it's best to reduce the traffic conditions.. while they are still at it here's a simple solution to reduce fuel consumption and the pollution.
On busy one-way junctures where traffic moves inch-by-inch (which is a very common sight in busy cities), the roads can be made slightly downward sloping. This way vehicles can turn off their ignition and smoothly move down until they get the go-signal.
For the driver, the fuel consumption goes down, he can go easy on the clutch and he needn't breathe in all the exhaust fumes.
For the environment, lesser noise/air pollution and lot of fuel saving.
Guess it's time they accept me into the CPCB ;)
