Traffic Jam

When many vehicles clog up together, it is called traffic jam. Traffic jam is a common picture in cities and towns of Bangladesh. It has taken a very serious shape in Dhaka city. This problem is the result of rapid growth of population and the increasing number of vehicle. It has negative impacts on our life and economy. When too many vehicles try to move along a narrow street or road at a time, they create traffic jam. There are several causes behind traffic jam. Firstly, many drivers are not aware of the rules and regulations of driving and many others are not willing to abide by traffic rules. Then, vehicles of various velocities ply on the same road and it slows down the movement of vehicles. As most of the rickshaw pullers are illiterate and ignorant of traffic rules, they often break the traffic rules and create traffic jam. Again most of the drivers of the cars and buses in our country are often callous to traffic rules. They drive their vehicles at their sweet will, which is another cause of traffic jam. Wrong parking of vehicles and unnecessary overtaking of vehicles area also responsible for traffic jam, Owing to traffic jam, sometimes people are to wait on the roads for several hours. It kills their valuable time and hampers their work. IT causes great sufferings to a serious patient being carried in an ambulance. We want to get rid of this problem. To overcome the problem, the existing narrow roads and streets should be broadened. One way movement of vehicles should be introduced and flyovers have tone constructed in certain areas where traffic jam occurs frequently. Besides these, the traffic authority needs to be more careful to enforce traffic rules. Above all, everybody should follow the traffic rules in order to avoid traffic jam.
