What is Traffic Jam?
Traffic jam is a condition of roads so that vehicle could not move properly. Vehicle move slowly which kill time of the traveler. People cannot move one place to another easily. The most common example is the physical use of roads by vehicles.
To manage traffic jam we can take the following steps such as:
- People should respect the law.
- People should know traffic system.
- Good lane system can be established.
- Traffic police have do their duty correctly.
- People should use zebra cross and foot over bridge where necessary.
- All import and export related office should go outside Dhaka.
- All offices should start at 7.30AM and all education institutes should start at 8 AM, Banking should start at 9 AM and all can be end within just 2.30 PM, 4.30 PM and 4 PM.
- Road should be one way.
- Car parking should stop in the road side.
- Cycle path should be providing.
- Proper planning and monitoring is important.
- New buses and more buses would be bought soon to discourage private cars on the streets.
Eventually, In order to have a smooth city transportation system we think Dhaka City Corporation should consider expanding its public transport fleet-buses and double deckers etc. Dhaka has introduced lane system, it should also consider allocating a tiny lane for Bicycles and it should launch a campaign to make it popular. If people start using bicycle for commuting short distances, this can hugely reduce pressure on buses, taxies and rickshaws. Besides this, cycling is good for environment as well as it can keep the city dwellers fit.
