Answer: Traffic jam is a severe problem in Dhaka city. It hampers the normal flow of citizens' life. Various types of vehicles run in the roads and become the cause of annoyance of the common people. They cannot go to their destination in time. School going children and office going employees suffer a lot. Traffic jam mainly occurs as a result of Dhaka's poor infrastructure. Only 7 percent of Dhaka is covered by roads, while Paris and Vienna have about 25 percent. There are about 60 traffic lights at 650 major intersections, and most of those lights do not work. Traffic jam in Dhaka costs about 3.8 billion dollar a year. Many dwellers in this city blame the rickshaws for this problem. Now the number of buses and cars have also increased. But a solution of traffic jam in this city must be made. Both the government and the common people should come forward. Good news is that the present government has taken some steps to reduce traffic jam. The metro rail project is one of them. But along with these projects government also should remove the hawkers who run their business on footpath. Public transport should be made available. Slow speeded transports should be banned from busy roads and more underpass and overpass should be built.
