Traffic jam is not an
uncommon phenomenon our country, especially in the Dhaka city. Traffic jam, by
definition, is the huddling up of too
many vehicles in a specific place of a highway or in a street, with the
result that the vehicles clogs up, so to say, and cannot move ahead. This
creates a great problem. People who are busy on urgent 'business miss their
timetable. In the
morning, for example, many people fail to attend their
workplaces in time. The transportation of goods get delayed. Perhaps the worst consequence is suffered by
patients being carried to hospitals or clinics. The mental and physical sufferings,
too, are no less important. Rickshaw pullers and baby-taxi drivers, who usually
live from hand to mouth undergo a great suffering for the loss of their time.
But not that it happens in all the places all the time. Again, not that only
the street conditions and rule-violating behavior of drivers cause it. The
number of vehicles, especially rickshaws, is a major cause of this nuisance.
Whatever the cause, it is not unsolvable. Above all, we do not want to suffer
so much.
