Is Noida educated enough to follow rules? 5 Ridiculous takes by Noida-ans on Traffic

"I stopped at the red light right after crossing DND. And to my surprise nobody even cared to stop? Okay. I moved ahead and a rollercoaster ride began and I witnessed something that I had not seen before."

Hundreds of people drive across states every single day to work in the National Capital Region. Delhi-Gurgaon, Delhi-Noida and Gurgaon-Noida is a common phenomenon for the working class and there seem to be no barrier of states, but traffic. Although there floats a basic traffic sense but some rowdy elements create so much fuss that simply and rudely ruptures the whole system and cars end up fighting with each other and humans against time.

It would be unjust to say that such rookies or rowdies exist only in Noida, they do in every single traffic environment, but Noida-ans have so much audacity to just do it and continue to do so.

Here are the top 5 Innovative Rules that have crippled Noida's Traffic -

1. Red light = Green light
There seems to be absolutely no difference between the two. The everyday hustle at 12-22 be because of these bus drivers who aren't educated or even if they are they don't want to follow any such rules.

2. Overtake from any (read wrong) side, you like
Once we were taught to not overtake from the wrong side as it might deceive the driver ahead and land in a mishap. But but but, the roads on Noida see abrupt overtakes from all the sides, sometimes even across roads and while turning. And all this wrong side.

3. Be on the extreme left to take the right turn and vice versa
This is the most irritating action that repeats itself after every micro second. One should ethically be on the right to take a right turn and the same goes for the otherwise also. But comfortable drivers stay on opposite sides and take turns.

4. Do not (even think to) stop when the light goes from green to red
Another common phenomenon to try squeezing in as the traffic light goes from red to green. This often results in, as an obstruction to the other waiting side. And we end up in an entangles traffic scenario.

5. Do not stop for anyone
Chivalry? No. Patience? No. Hurry? Yes. Almost everyone is in a hurry to not reach the destination but, go ahead of the person and car ahead.

And the disappointing part is this - All these common incidents are done and dusted by not bus/ auto drivers but by average-educated Indians.

So, did education not teach us to be civilized? Does the system hold true in literally educating us?
