Mumbai Traffic Police Complaints & Reviews

Sir i am a daily best bus commuter from s v road bandra (w) to dadar tt. during evening peak hours daily when my bus reaches sitladevi mandir, from there to reach kohinoor square (opp. sena bhavan) and take a left from kohinoor square to go to dadar tt which should not take more than 10 minutes, it takes 30 to 40 minutes daily. reason being the left turn signal is closed and kept on yellow continuously and the traffic havaldars manouver the traffic on their own whims and fancies. the rest of the traffic going towards shivaji park, elphinston and traffic from shivaji park to dadar is cleared properly and continuously by the traffic havaldars. they just donot leave the traffic from kohinoor square towards dadar tt for 30 minutes. this is done on purpose to keep the vip road (that is shivaji park road) clear from traffic jam. yesterday too my bus reached near kohinoor square at 7pm and was stationery till 7.30pm just to take a left turn to go to dadar tt. please think if someone has to urgently reach a hospital or some emergency what would happen then. a common man who travels either by bus or in an urgency takes a taxi his taxi fare will shoot up by rs.40/- to rs.50/- over and above the regular fare because of this traffic jam. if by chance a bus driver requests the traffic havaldar to allow the traffic to take the left turn, then god help that bus driver. the havaldar will blast the driver and then on purpose still not leave the left side traffic. request you to please look into this matter and stop this harassment by the traffic havaldars.

Thanking you,

Crossing Chakala cigarette factory signal is like worst nightmare. It is a 4 way junction. no one follows signal here. car driver, rickshaw's, taxi, private buses, BEST buses, tempo, trucks no one follows signal here. They all are risking their lives. also, pedestrians who cross the roads, they are at high risk. there is a requirement of traffic police atleast from 7am - 10pm on the road going to Bamanwada and Sahar road one end going towards Sahar and other end towards Andheri station.

please do take it seriously. everyone's life is at stake.

We have been requesting the traffic police to make the narrow part of our lane no parking. This is because the lane is so narrow and when people park their cars irresponsibly, the residents suffer.
It has reached a point that the school buses cannot enter the lane.
In case of an emergency how will a fire engine fit??

Are we not entitled to clear and obstacle free roads??
We have even submitted pictures as proof!!!

Can someone please help!!!

There's a illegally pay n park organization is going on near trade centre, bandra kurla complex.
I had parked my bike outside this illegal pay n park section for 10 minutes and on returning back, my bike was towed. On enquiring, I came to know that my bike was taken backside of kurla telephone exchange. On visiting there, it was a barren land covering with shutters look like under construction ground.
There was no proper traffic control room. only one traffic constable was sitting in a moving shed with just one fine book.
It wasn't seem to be a legal traffic chowky.
I paid 200 rs. fine but that constable gave me receipt of only 100 rs. On asking him for balance 100 rs. receipt, so he denied me and rudely told me to move on and leave.

Dear Sir,

I would like to bring to your kind attention the traffic problems
created by illegal parking of Trucks/Goods Vehicles and Cars.
This is done in a area where there are several Boards of Traffic
Police declaring it as NO PARKING AREA.
the exact spot is when we take a turn from Western Express Highway
to go towards Saki Naka, there is a building of Kanakia Builders
which has huge Television screens displayed on the road. Right from
this sport and upto Crisil House on the same road we find trucks
and cars parked in the morning from 8.00 am till 11.00 am which is
the peak traffic time. Due to this the Road is jammed upto Marol
Naka.
Also on the opposite road which is going towards Western Express
Highway, below the Marol Naka Metro Station there are tourist cars
parked throught the day which again results in traffic jam.
This is happening right in front of the Traffic Officers and
Constables who are on duty in this area.
Sir, If required I can send you the photographs of the trucks/cars
parked right below the Traffic Police "NO PARKING" signs.
Need immediate solution to this .

Thanks

Construct the concrete road divider on R-C road opposite to Chembur golf club upto mahul road signal. Because of free access to any side vehicles take sudden U turn which creates lot of problems for traffic from both the directions. Moreover, because of this there are always traffic jam and high chances of bike skidding. The traffic situation on the road is very precarious state and needs immediate overhaul.

There are multiple signals below th brigde as we move from north to south on SV road. Apparantly there is a separate signal for left towards station and there is main signal for left towards the flyover/bridge. Travellers get confused as the signals are switched ON at different times and leads to jumping signal.

Suggest to put a separate signal along with signboard towards station which guides the travellers and avoid jumping signal. It would help the travelles and save their lives.

Mr. Shinde stopped us near indian petrol pump, juhu beach & asked for all papers, i show him all original papers & again he asked for puc, i convinced him, as it’s a new car same has been not required. Again he asked for tax & kept my driving licensee. I went near him & showed him the same day airoli toll receipt, he was not convinced & told me you have to pay rs 12000 tax. I asked to make a challan & will pay at rto office. He was not ready give challan also, just detained me my family for 45 minutes there, just delaying by calling 2, 3 people & asking for some forms, again he asked for rs 1600 tax but didn’t ready to provide challan. My elder brother came and pay 500 bribe to him after that he released us & returned my driving license.

Dear sir,

I am doing daily up down from thane west hiranandani estats to nalasopara phata .
Everyday from 6 PM there is traffic of 10 to 20 min only for crossing the vasiav bridge . and on Saturday and Sunday the waiting time reach to around 1hr.
Plz do something, becz we facing this problem daily. Like overhead bridge on fountain for thane or for Mumbai. Or making of new bridge .
Its westing of time, fuel, effect the condition of vehicle total loss.

Today on my way at Goregaon SV road, headphone was on my ear, at signal and after crossing was stopped by 03 traffic constables at around 12:30 PM.
After telling about my offence they just snatched my driving licence and keys and demanded 600.
For this they prepared a challan and told to receive driving licence at court.
But even after giving 600 they didn't give me receipt on which they have taken my sign that driving licence received.
Even they were not ready to tell where to get receipt, and didn't mention the amount received.
There was 1 hour argument on road, for this ...they abused me, and told for dire consequences.
Finally I was freed but without any receipt despite giving 600 rs.
Luckily I was fortunate to have a colour Xerox of this.
They were suspicious when I wrote down their name nd snatched away my diary.
Can a common man like me can expect a corruption free and good behaviour by these traffic policemen...???

Dear Madam / Sir,

I am a resident of St. Roque Road, Bandra west (Behind Mehboob Studios).
There is a white Maruti desire (a doctors car) who parks at the entrance to a lane. He parks it vertically making it extremely difficult for cars of all building and residents of the entire lane to pass thru. School busses have to be re-routed sometimes and god-forbid, if there is a fire or a medical emergency in any of the buildings, neither a fire brigade nor a ambulance will pass thru.

I have attached the pictures herewith.

Request the car to be picked up ON A DAILY BASIS till such time as the doctor gets some civic sense.

Unfortunately by the time the towing vans come by 10.30-11.00 am, the Dr has left with his car.
The trouble continues later in the evening (from 8pm) upto next morning (9am)

Sir, m Rinkesh Shah...my license was taken by Mr S.N.Aahwad near vakola flyover at santacruz...now when I went to pay fine they're saying they've lost it...officers at traffic office below bridge say Aahwad has not submitted it while Aahwad says he has submitted license and done his job

Ultimately I m the one who is suffering... Attached is the receipt copy

Bike was towed during the friday's congregational prayers from an area which neither has a proper parking areas for bike nor any help is provided by an official. When confronted about the situation to the officials they responded by saying that you should not park the bike, or maybe you shouldnt have one and showed no kind of support or understanding. I was forced to pay a sum of Rs.200. Although the fine was small, the thing that hurt was the officials no concern for religious sentiment.

Sir MA Road Andheri west outside railway station is NO PARKING & also No hawking zone but purpose of NO pARKING is defeated. It is obsereved you tow away vehicles for HAWKERS to occupy road resulting same traffic JAMS.Vehicles halt or parked for short time but hawkers occupy road in peak hours 4pm to 9pm defeating purpose of NO PARKING.It is unjustice to citizens who pay road taxes & also pay fine for parking at NO PARKING while hawkers who creates traffic jams are not penalised for traffic jams.I request to take action jointly with BMC & civil police so purpose of NO PARKING not defeated.

1. Indian oil Nagar - illegal parking of debris trucks. 2. Star Bazaar - illegal parking 3. In front of Audi West Mumbai showroom - Debris trucks parking. 4. Goregaon Aagar bus Depot - Two wheelers sale by Chachu Motors and Shad Motor Point at the bus stop. 5. Trisha Bar - Four wheeler, two wheelers and Auto Rickshaw Parking. 6. Infinity mall, Mega mall, City mall, Harmony mall and D-Mart - Instead of no - parking sign board the four wheelers are parked. 7. Auto Rickshaw are parked in appropriately are they been permitted to do so. 8. Bikaji Corner to the consecutive signal four wheelers illegally parked. 9. Borivali National park - Jaimin Travels Private busses are parked illegally approximately 20 to 25 bussed on both sides of the road. 10. Traffic Police officers are not placed at signal and standing away from the signal are indirectly allowing everyone training to break the signals. They should stand at the signals and increase the importance of the signals which they are appointed for. 11. Tequila and Jalsa Bar located at Link road - Did you gave any special permission of illegal parking to the customer of these bars. This problem this was seen and faced by me and henceforth brought to your notice. Imagine same problem is been faced by many people at many places in Mumbai. Our government has appointed many people for this job but their negligence makes the traffic issue looks bigger than what it is... Even after continuous follow up on the above mentioned subject. from 07 June 2015 Till date no any action.

My name is subodh Kumar.i am staying in 302, manoj bldg., opp. university campus, lane adjacent to Kota mahinra bank bldg., vidyanagari road, vidyanagari, santacruz (east), mumbai. the parking of vehicles parked by the staff of bank an other offices in the same building are being pared in the lane approaching to 6 buildings situated in the lane. the subject lane is not a municipal road. parking is being done on both sides of the lane thus making it a narrow lane and it becomes very difficult to move vehicles of the residents during office hours. The sedans and suv are also being parked even on the corner of the lane in such manner that you can not make out whether any lane exist there. it becomes a blind corner though it opens on a busy main cst road. corner of the lane touches the road and such parking violates the traffic rules. the traffic police is posted there but they never bothered to take appropriate action for such blatant violation of Traffic Rules, reasons best known to them.

Lucky Restaurant signal has become somewhat a nightmare with the 4-way junction handling traffic signal The problem can be better understood if one took into account the problems faced by local residents namely; • Too much leeway given to motorists going towards or coming from Mahim via SV Road. The signals are so badly timed to give those motorists the best right of way as compared to Bandraites • Hill Road is so narrow that the mouth of the road allows travel towards Mahim, Khar, & Bandra Railway Station. Motorists going towards Mahim or Sion or Dadar must use the Bandra-Worli Sea Link or be forced to do so. This Bandra Mahim interchange is an absolute nuisance • BEST Buses are best placed to take a turn towards Bandra Railway Station from the HP Petrol Pump signal instead of Hill Road. If they turn inward towards Hill Road, empty buses clog the road, leaving motorists with very little space to manoeuvre besides serving no purpose as no passengers get on • The worst case scenario is negotiating the Lucky Restaurant signal during peak hours by Auto/Bus! It takes no less than 7-8 minutes to negotiate the stretch which is pure agony both in terms of waiting & taking a massive hit on the wallet. Normal fare from Bandra Station to Mount Mary takes Rs.32 but in times of heavy traffic like this nothing less Rs.45

I am a commuter being travelling from Kalyan to Kanjur & later from Kanjur railway station to Solaries , Powai .
I had done complaints of few Auto-Rik-shaw drivers about their denial & in-decent behavior at Kanjur railway station.
During morning time first of all they are not following the Queue system.Even the Union people are present for just Name sake.
They are ineffective in implementing the Queue system.I am fed up noting down the nos. of Indvidual Auto-Rik-shaw drivers on daily basis.
The various excuses are : 1. There is no Queue system in place over here.2.My Rik-shaw is from other place .
3.I am waiting for a reserved commuter.4. I don't want to go there. 5. Gas is fininshed I have to re-fill. & so on.
Pls. advice me what legal action can be taken to avoid inconvenient caused to so many commuters daily .I suggest to appoint a Traffic police
at such places for some weeks to regularize the system.Awaiting your prompt reply on subject matter.Pls do acknowledge the same."
