*COMMENTS* GSRP appreciates this initiative by the traffic police which initiative is the need of the hour and long since absent. This Party’s ‘Road Map for Goa’ released in August, 2005 has the following in its chapter of Public Transport & R.T.O. floriano lobo Goa Su-Raj Party-GSRP 9890470896 www.goasu-raj.com – for download of Constitution & the Road Map for Goa http://www.goasu-raj.com/gen/display_commentsOnNews_data.asp?pg=3979 *** * [VII] PUBLIC TRANSPORT & R.T.O.* 9. Road Marshals: This Party’s government shall, through the RTO, appoint responsible citizen riders/drivers as ‘road marshals’ with special powers to halt and educate any traffic rule or law violator anywhere in the state of Goa. Any citizen when shown the ‘road marshal’ badge, shall respectfully listen to what is being told and why, without arguments. In case riders/drivers pick up argument with the road marshal, their vehicle number, date and time shall be reported to the traffic offence cell and suitable action shall be taken against the violator. Necessary provisions shall be made into the law to accommodate such violations. Note: What one sees on the road in Goa is utter lawlessness. Most drivers and riders do not seem to know their basic traffic rules. Drivers and riders are seen cutting in on the wrong side of the road at intersections with impunity, as well as overtaking from the left on two-way single lane roads. The traffic police is utterly inadequate in putting some sense on the roads which has become a killing field. Therefore, the only way this can be controlled is through ‘road marshal’ phenomena where educating riders and drivers throughout the length and breadth of Goa can be achieved faster.
