I really doubt whether the traffic police personnel know the rules themselves. vehicle cross the red light s,, vehicles jump the red lights when the traffic police is there. The traffic police officials stand there as silent spectators. Since they earn lot of money as bribe from trucks and other vehicles, their annual increment should be stopped. And also the traffic police men, those do not work, they should be given VRS and new educated men should betaken thru stringent selection process.
Where ever they are they are good for nothing when it comes to manage the traffic. But ss soon as they see the truck or any other goods vehicle they all become highly efficient and effective.
I agree with Sumeet and Raghav. They rightly said that they ( traffic police) are every where they are not there. On Jain Mandir flyover you can see people coming from wrong side even when traffic police is presant there. There has been so many accidents on this flyover in the past but no serious action is taken yet.
Hyderabad police being active during the nights has brought in a lot of confidence to ordinary citizens like me. Keep it up although I think police needs to interact more with civil society and make themselves more approachable
