So, I was on my way to the international airport in Delhi. The road is wide and everything was smooth. Except for one little thing.

Delhi Traffic Police was waiting with their interceptor van and a bunch of cops. It was an easy trap.

People who are going to the airport are not going to stroll on that road. The speed limit I believe is 55kmph. And if you are in a slight bit of hurry to catch your plane, you might go beyond that.

And since there are no cuts for long stretches, there is no way you can avoid them. They would stop you and you would waste a lot of time dealing with the formalities.

I am not saying that it is ok for folks to drive above the speed limits. But I am very annoyed at such traps set by the Delhi Traffic Police on roads that are not usually congested and is wide enough with long stretches.

They can deploy the same workforce at places where they can actually be helpful to the people on the road. Places where there are frequent jams.

I am not sure how many people miss their flights because of this ‘trap’.
