TrafficViolators is Upgrading

Traffic Violators is under going an upgrade!

We heard your feedback and have been consistently working to incorporate the same. At the same time, technology has also been moving with a tremendous pace.

The upgraded site will have some new technology and will incorporate all the features you suggested.

During the upgrade you will not be able to enter any new violations. However, the site will continue to  be available and we will not be loosing any data (including your registration).

If all goes well during the upgrade, we will be back on June 23rd 2008. Till then – Safe Driving!

Revamping TrafficViolators

The traffic on the road is only getting worse. And we have been inactive!!

Would start by truly apologising for the inactivity. But we don’t intend to anymore. We are planning a revamp now. Nothing will get affected for the users and they can continue to use the site without a glitch!

Some data on the site usage for May 2008:

1. We had 84 visitors who contributed to the 609 page views and almost all are new visitors to the site.
2. 77% use IE and 20% use Firefox with 40% using 1024×768 screen resolution.
3. Around 30% traffic is direct while 53% comes via search engines. The keywords being used have been “traffic violators”, “traffic violations”, “report traffic violations” etc. Maximum traffic to the site has been sent via facebook.

Now about some of the features we are thinking of implementing:

1. Anonymous reporting of violations (still to be debated)
2. Information on what happens to your reports when you submit them
3. Provision for the owner to come back and say sorry
4. Provision to handle commercial vehicles/ cabs
5. Richer API set so that widgets can be built
6. Reach out to the local news channels and get them to talk about the site
7. Offences to be reported in some form of a visual graph?
8. Press and Testimonials page
9. Improve Page formatting
10. Reactivate the SMS feature

All the above features are taken from feedback observed on the web. I especially thank Deepak Vasudevan and Shiv for their comments about the site.

Please feel free to comment here if you have any other feedback. We are eager to get them in practice and make this a more useful site.

trafficviolators is BACK!

the recent spate in the blue line deaths and the consequent media attention gave us another reason to focus on reviving the site that had mistakenly got deleted.

so after significant time with it, we have revived the site! the new site has all the features of the old and should be more reliable and faster (given our new infrastructure)! the look and feel of the site was highly commented on and has been redone to make it look more appealing.

an additional feature we have introduced is the ability to get a @trafficviolators.com email  to anyone who wants the same.

Please contribute by taking a quick look at the site and sharing your feedback with us at info@trafficviolators.com..
