Update

Feedback:
Our senior management was very receptive to the idea of using the left lane only if the intention is to turn left.

Here's what Sanjoy Sanyal, VP Professional Services and Training, SumTotal, had to say about the initiative : "Fantastic initiative! I had changed my work timings just to avoid the traffic at Cyber Towers junction. With this, the experience at Cyber Towers should get better."

Sudheer Koneru, Managing Director - India, SumTotal, said that he has instructed his driver NOT to use the left lane unless the car is taking a left turn at the junction.

Lekha Sishta, VP - HR & Talent Management, SumTotal, has given strict instructions to the company buses and cabs to not use the left lane to get close to the intersection at traffic junctions. Bus coordinators have been instructed to make sure that the drivers do not block the left lane at junctions.

Progress:
We have also ordered for t-shirts to be printed. (actually it's a contraption that looks like a sandwich placard so that it can be worn on top of a tshirt).

We're still deciding on the design of the banners. I need to come up with content for the posters.
Talks with the police have started and they liked the idea. There is supposed to be a meeting today which I may need to attend.
