Chennai City Traffic Menace


Traffic Menace is going worst in Chennai! Still to expect! No strict laws followed! No Strict rules implemented! Shocking state! Chennai City Traffic Police Need to do something sooner than later!!
Few examples:
Alwarpet to Anna Nagar - 9KM : Evening hours (6:00 PM onwards) takes minimum 2 hours to 2:30 hrs depends on traffic @ Radhakrishnan Salai, Nungambakkam High Road, Chetpet sterling junction!! 
Anna Nagar West to Koyambedu which is just 3.0KM away takes anything between 30 mins to 1 hour!! Sometimes 2 hours too! Depends on mess created @ Thirumangalam Junction by buses (multiple buses) which dashes Jawaharlal nehru salai turning from second avenue in 5 to six lanes!! 
Valluvarkottam to Vadapalani - 4 hrs max takes 1:30 hrs @ evening peak hours minimum! 
Jawaharlal nehru salai from Thirumangalam junction towards Anna Nagar west depot was made as one way and no vehicles should come in the opposite direction, but everyday after 11:00pm, all the vehicles like lorries, buses, cars, dash with full speed on the NO ENTRY, Literately everyday my life is at stake!! few days back I just escaped from a racing Lorry into NO ENTRY! To my surprise i did saw one Traffic police office standing @ the NO ENTRY (@18th Main road junction) itself, I did asked him why you leave these people to pass thru' NO ENTRY but the officer's answer really shocked me!! He is telling that people like in Cars will oblige and follow the traffic rules but Lorries/buses they will not!!! If i stop they may hit and run!! He says he don't have options!! At this juncture, I just want to know should we follow the traffic rules or take the advice of police  officers and enjoys rash driving!! I am really confused!! 
Same way Anna Nagar, School road from SBOA School (CBSE) towards Jawaharlal Nehru Salai is also limited to take only left @ the signal as per new traffic diversions, but most of vehicles barge straight into the 17th Main Road cutting the Jawaharlal Nehru Salai, even though there is a police station very next to it, few police officers watching it daily!! They really don't care, This happens in the morning hours(school times 8:00 AM to 9:20 AM)!! Because these vehicles moving to next lane to avoid left turn barricades, vehicle going towards school are struck into big traffic mess!! This happens daily no one bothers about it!

Already Anna Nagar Traffic diversions making life worse and these things still making things worst!! Even educated people too do not want to follow the traffic rules! Shocking state of Indians!! 
All these Mess/Menace are Majorly due to irresponsible, undisciplined vehicle commuters! This is high time for Government and Police to restrict to max possible oresle we will head for major traffic disorder soon!!
As quoted by Aristotle "At his best, man is the noblest of all animals; separated from law and justice he is the worst."

So make the law strictly followed to make these irresponsible better! Please do the needful! If this State continues like this, people who would love to follow traffic will also start follow these irresponsibles then you can expect the worst to happen in the road! before that happen please fix these!!
