Red lights.

I hate the red light. It makes me see red. What a wasteful invention. Assume that on one side 50 people wait for two minutes. People are waiting on three sides. So, 150 persons are waiting for two minutes. that is 300 man minutes or 5 man hours wasted .... per stop cycle. Lets us say there are 100 light points in the city. that means There are 10 stop cycles in an hour. So every hour the city wastes 5000 man hours. Being assumed only.. lets divide it by 5. That is 1000 man hours wasted on red lights. 

A vehicle goes an average of 40 kms in an hour and the average mileage should be around 8 kms per litre of diesel. So vehicle spends five litres in an hour or five litres in 60 minutes, or 1/6 litres in two minutes. Let us assume that 50 vehicles wait for two minutes before moving at each light point --- that is 50/6 litres at each point or 500/6 litres per hour per light point or 50000/6 litres per hour in the city. Or Rs.25,00,000 per hour or  assuming a ten 15 hours a day....Rs.3,75,00,000 per day.

I know it cannot be this staggering,otherwise we would have build many more fly-overs.Without toll boots also. For the nation would have been richer. hence this calculation is false and highly exaggerated.
