I am an exresident and visit Hyd often. I was in Hyd for the last three months and I drove a car around and noticed how bad the trafic is. Blame goes to all. Citizens, Govt (City & Law enforcement) and drivers. Two wheelers are the worst,particularly the young drivers. My request to the Govt (Roads Dept), please focus on pot holes on the road, add signs if there are speed breakers and add speed limits. Police has to penalize (Traffic Tickets - Fines)bad drivers heavily and get some revenue to the city, so that they hire more officers. I request to all drivers, please be considerate and respect other's rights. Your time is as important as others.
