Traffic report




You have seen nothing like the traffic here...something else. This is the capital City but there are no road markings on the roads, pavements are virtually non-existent, sacred cows aimlessly wander the routes occasionally sleeping by the central reservation, and there are cars, buses, rickshaws, tut tuts, mopeds, bicycles and scooters a go-go, but it boasts a total of two sets of traffic lights! Traffic is directed by extremely brave policemen who stand in the middle of the mêlée gesturing with their immaculately white gloved hands and presumably muttering prayers under their breath! To drive here you need nerves of steel...definitely a case of 'who dares wins' even to get out of a road junction!
