my way or no way at all

Seven lane one-way road?

just outside my office window; the center median of the two way road has been broken because of road widening and BRTS corridor work.
full license for the traffic to do as they wish? oh yes!! the attitude of everyone on my city roads is, "i have right of way before all else. let me get through, others will then manage." disregard for rules are second nature to people. like the sun does rise in the early hours, so does chaos during rush hour.
the consequence one fine day: seven lanes, all going the same direction, the scene is a little better at the other side of the junction with only 6 lanes of on coming traffic. traffic does eventually clear after 3hrs!

lack of governance, lack of civil responsibility and utter disregard for others.

and i read somewhere, how a city commutes is how its people live...
