On this blog a story was posted on March 11,2008 Belgaum getting many Traffic Signals:Khanapur Road widened.It is the end of May now and still this traffic signal awaits inauguration. The newly installed signals at Globe circle and RPD cross are still not working. Belgaumites thought that riding on roads would become a bit easier, but to their despair, still they await inauguration. Now that the new BJP govt is there in Belgaum and we have two BJP MLAs we should expect someone to inaugurate them.
In the past couple of months, the traffic sense of Belgaumites has changed to a certain extent and all that is thanks to the Traffic sub inspector Narayanswamy. He with his staff has given Ganpat Galli a breather earlier by removing all the hawkers from the street. Markings put on both sides of the roads all over the city so that the vehicles are parked properly within these markings. Half of Huns talkies road has been reserved for car parking.6-7 cars can now also be parked in front of Bata showroom in Hutatma chowk. Now going ahead with this, yesterday the Kapelshwar road got road dividers in the form of barricades. The Kapelshwar road rail crossing was a headache for the commuters in the area when the same used to be closed for 
rail crossing. Now the said road has been converted to a one way for four wheelers so the trucks and tempo being stuck at the railway gate will be avoided and the smooth flow of traffic will be there.

Therefore, the next time you drive in Belgaum be careful to park correctly or be ready to shell a fine.

Source: Tarun BaharatGanpat Galli, the heart of Belgaum market even after the road widening the road never seemed to be wide. After various memorandums to the civic authorities, the police have at last given life to Ganpat Galli as all the hawkers from the galli have been removed and the Belgaumites on a whole have a taken a breather. All the businessmen and local people have welcomed the this act of the police and have asked the police to see to that the road is free from hawkers. But in a democracy there are a few local politicians who are taking the hawkers side and fighting it out with the police.
The step the police has taken is a very welcoming step I guess, as going through Ganpat Galli even after it was widened was a great hard work.
