Government is building big roads for the ever-increasing cars and big flyovers for smooth traffic. Government is also taking up a lot of safety measures for the pedestrians’ on the roads. One such measure is the construction of subways where there is merging traffic. Another safety measure taken by the government, which is very new in use, is the blowing of siren for one minute during which the traffic stops to give way to the pedestrians to cross the roads. This is implemented mainly in busy and broad highways where the vehicles run at 50-70km/hour speed.
But government is such a fool. People are far more intelligent than those stupid government officers who are working day-nights to implement measures to make citizen life safer, easier and smoother. People don’t really bother to take subway. They are smart city people. They can cross the road anytime anywhere. And what happens to the subways? They simply turn to public lavatories thanks to male population of the country.
There is another bunch of smart people who think waiting for the siren to blow at the signal such a waste of time. Only fools do that! They might not have important work in hand but they make it a point not to waste even a second and make space in between speeding vehicles and thus crossing the road. They are smart city people.
I often wonder, if some unfortunate accident happens sometime, who will be at the receiving end? The government, who built all those measures for public safety? Or those police constables who are deployed at the signals to make sure that people abide by the rule? Will they bother if a life gets destroyed at an unfortunate moment? Or even worse, if that smart person turns into an invalid person for the rest of his/her life? Who will actually pay for the smartness?
Are their lives’ government’s? If not, then whom are they cheating on? Whom are they making fool of?
