Traffic Cop
This Traffic Policeman controls almost 10,000 vehicles everyday at Mahim Causeway in Mumbai.
With 200 cars being registered everyday, traffic congestion in Mumbai is hitting an all time high. As compared to Delhi (Indian Capital) which has 40,000 k.m of roadways, Mumbai has only 19,000. Yet it has the traffic population of Pune, Lucknow and Delhi put together!
