I pulled out onto the main road behind her assuming that she had stopped to let an oncoming car through, and then darn me she suddenly reversed to park, a tight lock and she nearly missed me stopped there behind her but she didn't, just...

Traffic signals flicker as accidents rise
"Our plan is to implement the project in association with the motor vehicles department, traffic police, road safety authority and residents' associations. Once we get approval, traffic systems in the city will be revamped. We are planning to set up an automated traffic system," Pareeth said. We expect the project would be approved at the earliest, he added.
Meanwhile, defunct traffic signals have contributed to traffic snarls in the city, especially during peak hours. Recently, the city had to face a major traffic block as signals at Kaloor and Palarivattom stopped functioning. "Signals at major junctions like Madhava Pharmacy and High Court are not functioning properly. As a result, most of us get stuck in traffic jams and reach office late," said Anil Kumar , who commutes on this route everyday.
A senior police official said traffic signals need to be shut for maintenances and traffic wardens will be on duty. "It is obvious that there will be traffic chaos when wardens are controlling because the process is not synchronized at all junctions. The situation is worse when power cuts happen because we don't have any backup options," he said.
