Cardboard Cops Control Traffic In Bangalore

Cardboard-Cops-Control-Traf

Paying cops costs a lots of paper money, but officials in Bangalore, India think they’ve found a cheaper alternative. They have set up cardboard cops at busy intersections in hopes drivers will see them, think they are real and slow down to avoid a ticket.

The move is part of a drive to control traffic in the city that has about 4.2 million vehicles on its roads and has only 3,000 traffic cops.

Bangalore police commissioner MA Saleem is optimistic that the paperbacked police are a good way of reducing speeding and preventing accidents.
