Thank you for your efforts in promoting road safety, and for trying to avert traffic pollution and congestion. We appreciate you! However, you need to overstand that infrastructure wise, we are seriously starved, as evident during typical workday mornings when traffic is at its heaviest, and because ours is a fairly one-directional workforce.
Hence, a slight jam on these our starving highways can choke traffic and delay even the most punctual of workers. This is why some of us are always trying to out-traffic the traffic by using secondary roads, daring the potholes therein. It’s not because we are impatient, we believe we are being logical, and doing everyone a favour by decongesting the main road.
So, it’ll be unfair to prevent all such routes from use, and to treat our diversions as violations, when in fact the reason for uni-directing some of these roads was just a one-off incident. I don't think it's wise to create so many one-ways and no-entries when the highway is a no-way - and the biggest Babylonian injustice of it is when such alternative routes are barred because of some temporary effect that it has on some bratty business premises.
Think about this: what’s the relative effect of this on a nurse or a school teacher who is trying to get to work early? Seriously, I wouldn't mind all these one-way-traffics, but before you prohibit entry, make sure there are better alternatives. Mumino bay kungho seh sumayaa.
