Traffic
Jam and It’s Economic Impact
Traffic
jam of the Dhaka city costs over Tk. 19,000 crore a year.
The
city losses 8.16 million work hours daily.
Significant
increase in population and centralization.
Simultaneous presence of motorized and
non-motorized vehicles on the
same street.
Traffic
mismanagement: Violation of Traffic rules and regulations.
Poor
transportation and infrastructure planning Other
Issues.
Dhaka
is the head quarter of all type of organization.
Human
puller to latest model automobile, mechanical to non-mechanical, slow to
fast-moving, nothing left on the roads of Dhaka.
Insufficient
number of traffic police and traffic signals, flaws in traffic markings.
Traffic
police do not do their duties properly.
The buses do not stop at the bus stops, they
stop just at the intersection points, and rickshaws always follow them.
The pedestrians cross the busy streets even if
there is no crosswalk. People do not usually use the over bridges or
underpasses.
Dhaka
City has very inadequate road networks, which are only 8 or 10 percent of the
total city area, whereas the acceptable ratio is 25 percent.
One
of the main problems of Dhaka City is its very limited Public Transport System.
Unplanned
railway crossing-When a train passes, lots of vehicles have to wait near the
rail crossing, which causes serious traffic congestion at the interval of every
15 minutes as an average.
Causes
of Traffic Jam
INCREASED
POPULATION AND CENTRALIZATION
Heterogeneous Vehicles …..
Traffic Mismanagement……..
Poor
Planning…..
Way
For Remedies….
—Decentralization.
—Thinking Vertically.
—Long Rail Network throughout the city.
—Changing the location of the Kamalapur
Station.
—Public Transport instead of Private
Transport.
—Co-ordination among the works of
different Ministry of the Government.
—Should change the mentality.
