From sskiyer AT iitk DOT ac DOT in Sun Feb 6 22:34:19 2005 Date: Sun, 6 Feb 2005 21:08:14 +0530 (IST) From: S. Sundar Kumar Iyer To: all AT lists DOT iitk DOT ac DOT in Subject: [All] Traffic Week - Mid-Week Report Summary: - Three more days of the on-going Traffic Week ahead - Please volunteer to spread awareness of correct traffic behaviour ************************************************************************* Dear Fellow Campus Residents and Visitors, As all of you know, the Traffic Week on campus is in progress. It will continue for the next three days till Wednesday, 9th February, 2005. In the past three days: * Facilitating road markings and traffic signs have been put up by the IWD. * More than 30 volunteers have spent time at various crossings handing out hand-bills and directing traffic. * SIS has given full support in terms of manpower to regulate traffic since the beginning of the traffic week. * Classes were conducted on Sunday for the security personnel and some of the institute taxi drivers by traffic experts from our Civil Engineering Department. Those of us who have been volunteering have observed and learnt a lot in the past four days. - The overwhelming majority are using the roads safely and with courtesy - Even rules that appear complex to explain are followed by people if they are directed clearly. Most follow them willingly. - Road markings and signs help the users of the road a lot in understanding and following the rules - Vehicular traffic in the academic area corridors has reduced. More education and cooperation is needed from students, faculty and staff in making this area truly pedestrian only area. In the coming three days, let us continue to reinforce good road practices further. We need more volunteers, especially from the students and staff. # Please feel free to stop by at the SAC crossing to pick up publicity material between : 8:30-10:30 am 12:30-1:30 pm 4:30-6:30 pm Other times, the publicity material are available at the SIS control room (near SAC crossing). # Please request students, faculty, staff or visitors (rule applies to all) not to ride bicycles or other vehicles in any pedestrian only areas at any time of day or night, in case you find them to be doing so. # Please follow the basic traffic rules and courtesy to fellow road users - whether as a pedestrian, cyclist or a motored vehicle driver. # Feel free to email iitk-traffic-owner AT yahoogroups DOT com Looking forward to your continued support and cooperation in making our campus a better place to live and work. Please drive safe and be safe!
