- raz32dust 7y agoAgree with that, and that is interesting. Replied below to a similar comment. You also have to consider that infrastructure is far less developed in Mumbai, though.
- sumedh 7y ago> You also have to consider that infrastructure is far less developed in Mumbai That is not true atleast in Mumbai, the traffic signals work but lot of drivers dont follow the signal because no one is going to catch them, if they dont obey the lights, if they see a traffic cop most drivers will obey the lights.
- Jamwinner 7y agoDoes enforcement count as infrastructure? As discussed, laws/signs without enforcement do little. Is seeing police that rare that everyone would risk it? Accountibility is foremost before progress.
- robjan 7y agoI live in Hong Kong and in the more built up areas, people honk their horn as soon as the traffic stops moving. It's not uncommon for me to be woken up by someone holding their horn while a minibus unloads it's passengers which is sometimes a few minutes. People are often quite apologetic when you call them out but the automatic instinct is definitely to use the horn rather than the brake.
