Netizens hoped that it should become a common phenomenon across the country.

Waiting in the traffic is probably something most people find irritating. While it’s common to see commuters losing their calm if found in such a situation, a photo reportedly from Mizoram showing people waiting patiently has impressed everyone online.

In an undated picture being circulated on the internet, scores of cars and two-wheelers are seen stuck in a traffic jam. However, not a single driver can be seen trying to cross onto the other side of the road that is absolutely empty.

Sandeep Ahlawat, a Twitter user who posted the photo, appreciated the people for waiting patiently and following traffic rules without making a fuss. “I have seen this kind of discipline only in Mizoram. There are no fancy cars, no big egos, no road rage, no honking…. no one is in a tearing hurry,” Ahalawat remarked. “There is calm and serenity all around,” he said.

Doesn’t matter how strong rules and laws it all depends on the general people who are supposed to follow them.And it all comes from inside 🙂

A big shout out to mizoram people.
If this type of discipline follwed by North Indian people the moratality rate by accident will reduced to zero and triffic jam will also reduced.

#Mumbai people are always in tearing hurry to reach their destination. Roads are narrow, traffic is insane. Commuting in a Metro City that never sleeps isn’t easy. Tier 2 cities can afford to follow traffic rules.
