19-Dec-2011. This will be SPTM's flagship campaign for 2012! We will work with PMC and Pune Traffic Police to identify accident hot spots and eliminate them so that some lives are saved. There will also be a lot of activities at citizens' level. |

01-Dec-2011. Proposal to improve Kothrud Depot junction We have submitted a proposal to Kothrud traffic police division to improve the Kothrud Depot junction. |
|
05-Nov-2011. A proposal to revamp Pune's signal system. The signal system we have has some inherent design flaws. There are flaws in the way the signal poles are located, U turns are allowed, timings for the signal cycles are determined, etc etc. SPTM has identified 14 such flaws. Some of them could lead to some seriously hazardous situations. We have documented them all in this document. We have submitted this document to the PMC Commissioner with a request to make a special budgetary allocation for 2012-13, because these flaws cannot be fixed as "maintenance issues". We need a special project to make our signals safer. |
