Traffic jam in Dhaka city: Some remedies

[MD Nur Saifuzzaman Shamim]

Under the above perspective remedies are recommended as follows:

. Policy makers, city planners, researchers and the related directorates and offices must sit together and find ways and means to address the problem. Coordination is very urgent and important.

. Readjustment of office timings depending upon the nature of job of the offices.

. No shop or other installation be allowed in the footpaths and nearby.

. Every year Traffic Week is observed by the concerned department. More and more awareness be created to achieve the goal.

. Shifting of educational institutes namely, private universities, school and colleges and other offices from residential zone to outskirts of the city.

. More and more fly-overs and over-bridges be constructed to address the problem.

. Restriction on import of old and unnecessary vehicles be imposed rigidly.


. Traffic management should be improved further for which necessary training or facilities may be available ..

. Unregistered rickshaws must be withdrawn arranging alternatives for their employment.

. Unauthorised parking of vehicles be stopped.


Dear audience of DIU forum , Please give me your opinion as a sufferer !!!

I think if the general mass practice the tendency of obeying rules and be concern of their activities, Traffic Jam problem can be reduced by about 60%. The rest depends on the city planning and the steps taken by the government.

Dhaka should be decentralized. I think this is the solution of traffic jam and others related problem. We have to make new city.

We can think that how to reduce the traffic jam problem but why does not our govt. think like us? ???

1.   3 or 4 lane should construct in the road
2.   Drivers should be well trained
3.   Traffic police should be sincere and a monitoring squad should be established
4.   Over Bridge and Fly Over should build where necessary
5.   All Garments and Factories should transfer from Dhaka
6.   And major need is decentralization

[Al Mamun Bhuiyan]

It is impossible to solve the traffic jam problem completely at the present time .Govt. should take proper steps very soon.

If it is possible to stop the 60% private car then i think this problem can be solved.
