Reasons for traffic jam on the Mouchak turn is different from that of Tejgaon.
Huge traffic jam drivers#
Bus drivers going to the airport, Gazipur and Joydevpur stop just on the turn to pick up passengers. Trucks and containers are kept on the roads in such a way that these roads have virtually become depots for these vehicles. However, the islands on the roads have been built unnecessarily big occupying a large space of the busy roads. There is a roundabout where seven roads meet. Traffic jam on Tejgaon Sat Rasta Mor is caused due to structural reasons. They, in most cases, allegedly and apparently remain busy in collecting tolls from heavily loaded trucks and other contractions. Police were found ineffective when jams started. Among them, obstruction of vehicles on the road during peak hours by policemen and altercations between drivers on the way were the highest (17 per cent), while absence and ineffectiveness of the police accounted for 12 per cent of the causes of jams. Different reasons were observed from one jam area to another. With a few exceptions, signal lights were found to play a very insignificant role in directing vehicles due to police ineffectiveness and drivers' disregard for traffic regulations. When a long queue of rickshaws and automobiles was observed we immediately made our way to the front of the queue and tried to find the reasons for the jam. Magh Bazar, Malibagh, Bangla Motor, Jatrabari, New Market, Gulistan turns, and Mirpur circle ten, Saidabad area, Tejgaon turn were visited from 8 a.m.
In this observation, the cases of jam in narrow alleys have not been included. Most rickshaws ply on the roads without legal documents.
If another bus of the same capacity is introduced the need for 50 rickshaws would diminish. Hence environment pollution would be reduced. It is found that if one bus of 80-seat capacity was introduced in the city, the need for more than 30 smoke-spewing autorickshows would diminish.
