[sustran] Re: FW: Traffic in India

[Alan Howes]

Though I have to say that after my two weeks in Mumbai recently it came
as no surprise.  Our driver thought nothing of driving the wrong way
down a contra-flow bus lane (not many of those in Mumbai), veering off
onto the pavement if he happened to meet a bus.  I did not think much of
it either!

A wonderful video clip of an Indian intersection working in ways most
traffic engineers would never imagine in their wildest dreams. If you
have never seen traffic in South Asia then this might come as something
of a shock.
