Traffic in India

June 10, 2009

To describe the traffic in India you only need two words: Organized Chaos. The traffic is a mix of cars, bicycles, motorbikes, trucks, buses, ox carts pulling goods, rickshaws, cows and goats, sometimes monkeys near temples and lots of stray dogs… all of them driving fighting for the same space on the road!

There are traffic rules but the police not really enforce it, and with good reason: The traffic in India is massive in numbers, and there is a slow but consistent flow of vehicles. If you make the people enforce the traffic laws, you will make everything slower, the people will become frustrated and they will try to do even more amazing stunts to flow trough the traffic. It’s amazing to just sit down on a busy crossroad and watch the traffic. It’s more entertaining than a good movie!
