How to eliminate traffic jams

I noticed that most of the traffic problems in Dubai come from people who through their own selfishness create cause traffic to stop. They pass on the right, left, inbetween having little disregard that you have been waiting just as long as they have

It is a problem of attitude. People who are patient and follow the rules have to wait longer. This breeds contempt for the rules and increases the number of people willing to break the rules. WHO WANTS TO BE LATER JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE NICE!

How to adjust the attitude of these kinds of people? NOT EASY. And not only money in the form of penalties will stop them. It would simple mean rich people do what they want while the less fortunate have to be late or take the risk of loosing everything.

When the police are around traffic moves very smoothly. Unfortunately they cannot be everywhere. It is such a great feeling to see somebody pulled over in front of everybody for line jumping.

The police can be everywhere. All the are needed are multiple webcams in all of the traffic jam areas and a few mobile mounted web cams put in the front and rear of government owned taxis.

Who will monitor these and how much will it cost? Well, anybody can monitor as long as they sign up on line. They will get a small percentage of the fine levied if they report it first. The web feeds will remain live for 2 days and people can bid (from their accumulated earnings) for snips in the various locations and time zones.

This project is self financing and self controling. With software which is available online the can zoom in on an offender, get help in identifying what is an offense or not. Then they submit their findings. The findings get peer reviewed and voted on, again by registered users of the system. If the offender gets a thumbs down. BAM a fine. A SMS goes out to the car owner.....GOTCHA! 500DHS fine.

The offender has the opportunity to pay the fine in cash or work it off over a period of time by.....signing up and trying to catch other offenders!

Over a period of time people will feel big brother is watching and they will stop screwing up the roads....
