Innovation Description
The idea is to have a fourth (blue) light at traffic signal to indicate that traffic jam ahead. This would help vehicles to divert at the signal before they hit the jam thereby easing the congestion ahead.
The idea struck Adarsh once when he got stuck in a big traffic jam while returning from his school. He likes to read books, play cricket and watch television. He aspires to join the Indian Administrative Service after he grows up.
