Inspite of numerous complaints this Tempo nuisance at Nagpada isn't stopping, everyday we have struggle to park our vehicle just because they have created Tempo stand. Some corporate some on asking to move abuse and fight with us. On calling traffic department before towing van comes all Tempo vanishes and they say "Humara setting hai aap kuch nahi kar sakte"

It's my sincere request to traffic department to take strict action against this. We shop owners face lots of trouble everyday.

We all are united towards the noble cause of eradicating corruption, but lets be honest, there are occasions when we decide to pay that constable a bribe rather than loosing our licence to them. Who wants to visit the traffic police station filled with corrupt rude and disrespectful people with government uniforms. Majority o[censored]s are also aware about the charges for common offences, but somehow the constables who stop you will ALWAYS quote something completely irrelevant and 10 times the actual charge. Such perfect presentation leaves the common motorist with two options, either pay the bribe and walk away or pay the higher amount and also loose your licence. Rather than standing by the right side, most o[censored]s decide to feed the hungry constables.
On 15th of October 2016, I was riding home from work, exiting the eastern express highway onto the Ghatkopar-Mankhurd link road (Jeejabai Bhosale Marg). Being low on fuel, i decided to join onto the freeway from under the flyover. i made the decision as it cut shorts about 1.5 km to reach the nearest fuel station. However, I was wrong and was aware of this fact too. It was riding at a maximum of 50 kmph. As I was merging from the entry ramp, i was signaled to stop by two constables. I indicated, rode onto the marked safe side and parked behind them.I had my helmet on, along with my riding gloves. And was carrying all my documents.
Before you question, yes I was in the wrong to take the freeway. I was asked the same by the constable, I explained the situation, admitting to the wrong, And was very polite and respectful . I was then asked to produce my licence. Which i did without hesitation, but from previous experiences, I knew it was a start of MONEY EXTRACTION. I proactively informed them, that my father is in the Government Services and that I reside not very far away. I was then educated how difficult it is to get a job in government services, and how I should thank my dad for gifting me this bike and my clothes. Additionally I was asked to be more careful while riding. To which i nodded and agreed to. They also added that the fine would be Rs.1200, and I'l[ have to submit my licence. I apologized again, asking to be left without a charge. I was then asked to pay a bribe, which I refused to. The constable asked me to pay the bribe about 20 times in 20 different ways, even commenting "you are dressed well and riding a new bike, you should have atleast 100-200 in your wallet". I refused all of the 20 times. At this, i knew the inevitable was coming. So after a little more discussion, I looked the other way while i was being charged. They took about 2 minutes, with the other constable continuously nagging "187..., 187..., ..." and some other things in Marathi. When handed over the receipt, I quietly folded it and rode off.
On my way home and after fueling up, I visited a local traffic police beat and referred to a chart of fines. I quickly learned I was charged Rs.1200, a 200 rupee charge(174RRR) for riding on the wrong side/wrong road and a 1000 rupee charge(184MA) for rash/rough riding. RASH RIDING. For once, a charge of irresponsible riding would have come slightly close.

After a moment of thought, I laughed to myself, feeling amused how tricky the constables were. I can never allow myself to pay a bribe, even though i ended up paying 1000 more than what i could have gotten away with.

I agree its a difficult job to stand in the sun monitoring traffic. Gets worse when its raining for months. Or when manual labor is required to keep the traffic moving. But being charged for something that you have not done! What a shame! Just recently the fines were increased too! Its a great thought to increase fines for offences, but what misses is a regulatory body to monitor the charges being made. but who has time for that, or maybe corruption has seeped so deep into the roots that India can never see a positive change.

Please share if you have come across a similar incident. Make others aware of the same too. Let us truly devote ourselves to eradicate corruption.

Dear Sir-

My bike was picked up on 14-Oct-2016 outside of Pawai Supreme Business park. I have parked my bike within Yellow Line zone. But even they took my bike to the L&T Stand in Pawai Traffic office.

As I paid her Rs 2100/- but she was not ready to provide complete receipt for the same and said if I want receipt come tomorrow at 8AM. I asked her again if I would get complete Rs 2100/- amount receipt tomorrow, she denied and said it will be around Rs 1200/- Receipt I will get.

We are working in poonam chamber, worli, mumbai. The traffic signal adjacent to atria mall is not working since last few months. We all the staff working in poonam chamber side are taking tremendous risk of our life to cross the same during morning & evening rush hours. Earlier bmc had constructed a fob to facilitate us but that also removed due to some legal issue.in this scenario you are requested to at least repair the signal to facilitate us for crossing the road.

Inspite of no parking boards there is haphazard parking all over chembur camp. Traffic cops are seen only on non operating signal taking extracting money from tanker drivers and commercial vehicles. Complaints have fallen on deaf ears and no action has been initiated
with so many schools in the area there is accident waiting to happen every day. Why do these cops not station themselves at key locations where there are traffic jams daily

R T O officer holds the signal of traffic moving from airoli towards mulund, bombay and thane

It takes 45 minutes to travel from airoli bridge to mulund

The signals are been manually operate by the officers

Please do the needful this is harresement

It is the routine of everyday it takes lots of pain to drive in such a traffic

Please resolve the problem

Dear sir,
This is with regards to parking cars in no parking zone @ chembur bezzola complex,
There are 2 dealer VW & Honda they have parked the cars in no parking zone & traffic police is not taking any action like not picking their cars i dont understand why is happening is it that the traffic police @ chembur is taking bribe from them ?? Otherwise there is no option that they will not work as per their working sheduled, they pick our bikes from parking zone also so would this happen,
Kindly look into it as this is a clear picture of taking bribe from the car dealer.
As a resident of chembur we face a lot of problem while passing under flyover (Suman Nagar).
We have a trust in our traffic police department but due to some morrons we are facing a lot of problem.
Kindly look into it.

Hello team,

This is regarding the signal timings changing from green to red. Past 2-3 weeks the timing between the two has drastically reduced to seconds which has led to tremendous traffic jamm. The area is Chembur Amar mahal junction and the signal showing for the road from Chembur to ghatkopar I.e from fine art flyover towards ghatkopar. Please take immediate action as the time taken to reach the destination has increased from 30 mins to 1 hour

Thanku

Today I was driving my bike and accidentally i jumped signal and when cop (Shivaji jadav badge no:-25893) asked me to stop so i stopped my vehicle and i was co operating with him.he ask me to pay him 1200 rs. for signal jump.Since i was not having any cash to pay him at the moment so he got irritated on me and asked me to attend court and pay amount in court. Officer gave me the receipt with offence 239/A and 184. as per offence 239/A is for signal jump charges RS 100. but offence 184 means for rash riding charges rs 1000. which i didnt do it and he denied to cut the offence and told do whatever you want to do.

Hi, The lokhandwala main market lane is a menace for drivers. people do double parking, some leave the car running and go shopping. its a pain to drive and most of them dont even bother for the BEST buses or other vehicles driving through. I am a resident of lokhandwala and am surprised that for past two years there are no towing vans in this area which can create a little order out of this mess.. the lokhandwala vyapari mandal seems to be taking care to it that no towing vehicles enter this zone.also beyond the circle signal no traffic police man is there in the lane to look into this chaos.
It would great to see people being disciplined on not using the roads as their own home property and having respect for other citizens as well.

On the road from D. N. Nagsr (Andheri W) to Cosmopolitan School, there are 2 lanes from where traffic emerges and just blocks the entire traffic on the main road.

Traffic remains stuck for 15 minutes on this stretch, for no reason.

This problem is prevalent for so long and nothing is being done about it.

Please make one lane one way and post a traffic cop on the other Lane from where the traffic emerges, to save time, fuel and so much pollution.

Dear sir/madam,
This is to raise a complaint for the heavy traffic jam in shilphata area.
Shilphata area is a prime junction where it connects to,
1. mumbra
2. thane
3. kalwa
4. kalyan
5. ambernath, badlapur etc
6. khardi gaon, etc.

Now it has been a daily practice that we face a problem at the junction for traffic jam for minimum about 30 min. every other day, it’s a usual practice we face jam for 1 hour, 2 hours, yesterday 21/09/2016 it was for 4 hours.
Main point or locations,
1. the turning towards kalyan phata from the mahape shil road while going toward shilphata.
2. shil phata junction turning towards mumbra by-pass.
3. shil phata junction turning towards kalyan/dombivali.

The main reason which is quite evident visually is the heavy vehicle traffic. there seems to be no rules or regulations being followed for allowing heavy vehicles to pass (there is a time slot during night time in which they can move), or driving in only first or second lane. heavy trucks drive in the third lane along with rickshaws and two wheelers. pot holes are something in fate of mumbaikars so let’s not discuss or mention that. we have heard yesterday jam was due to closing down of vasai bridge for repair work, so all heavy traffic is being diverted here. but cant the heavy traffic be controlled, why no lane divided, why no service roads, why no fine on truck drivers, why no action against any authority, isn’t smooth running of traffic a part of job description?
The entire mumbra bypass is jam packed 24*7. if we are lucky, we somehow manage to drive in third lane through the potholes and reach our destination towards navi mumbai.
Thousand of peoples get affected in one single day because of this traffic jam in and around shilphata, but it seems no authority even bother to look into this or even come on site actually. most of the times, common commuters get down on the road and try manage this disastrously managed traffic.
What can happen in case an ambulance is stuck in this traffic at this junction (since its connecting so many main area), is something we have seen in many movies and even actually once in a while at this location.
I request a competent authority to look into this and revert back with a reply that till when are we suppose to face this traffic jams at shilphata, 1 week, 1 year or it’s our fate so start living with it.
I hope this complain would reach at some window and i could see some action taken.
Thanks & regards,
Ehtesham shaikh

Why is the rto office not trying and finding out ways to get rid of the traffic.
For eg:
1) for aarey, can we not make it one way during the peak hours (8-10 am) and (6-8 pm)? i feel this will definitely help in curbing the traffic issues.
2) the highway flyovers should have barriers from atleast 400 m before the flyover starts so that bottlenecks are not created near the start.
3) illegal parking of three wheelers tempos, bikes etc in the slum areas should be dealt with strictly. when a new person parks his car in such areas, the officials tow it immediately, whereas if it the car belongs to the shop owner nearby the officials do not take actions.

These are few issues which if dealt with properly can help reduce the traffic issues. please run a feedback program where people like me will come out with some more better ways. the department only needs to experiment them and see.

This is to inform you that we are facing lot of problem due to illegal bus parking, tempo and car parking next to my house.due to this we are unable to go out of the house we have spoken to bus driver about this .Still they park over there due to this they drink inside next to that people come and smoke drugs our family ladies member are feeling uncomfortable to go outside.
Please do the needful.

Sir/Madam,
I'm resident at Jogeshwari west mumbai . I, want to bring into your notice that outside of Goregaon station east, there is Restaurant and Bar named JAY PRAKASH ( Near Borivali Biryani Junction), many bikes are parked in front of the Bar. It is difficult to see any vehicle coming as the road is blocked. As the road is blocked garbage van and busses also getting trouble to turn many times and it is dangerous to walking people’s life. These are generally bikes are parked by only customers of Restaurant and Bar. They are not listening to us too. Many times they refuse to park other bikes if they are not their customer and the owner of the Restaurant openly say that nobody will stop me to do so. Restaurant owner shows his money and muscle powers to the complainant so There is a question that if the footpath parking is not allowed in traffic rule then why the local RTO office has not yet taken any action against illegal parking? If the parking has been allotted to restaurant owner on footpath then is there any record of permission from local authority? for this complaint many times traffic control room was called but they do not attend the complaint. Most of the station in Mumbai location is always facing traffic jam problems because of not taking of any action against illegal activities.
So I humbly request you to take strong action against them and make us a proud to be AAMCHI MUMBAI SWACHH MUMBAI.

Thanking You
