I want to invite the attention of authorities to the traffic problems in a Cities. As it results the loss of property and life it demands priority. All authorities relating to traffic at local or intercity levels are well aware of the fact that we have unqualified drivers, sub – standard vehicles, inefficient administration. All these unhealthy factors contribute to traffic problems.
Last Tuesday I was out for university standing beside the road to cross it, there was a heavy running traffic at that time as it is a main national highway road it runs busy all the time, I was almost 10 minutes of me standing there, I was getting for my class, not a single trading police officer was there to control the traffic. Sometimes many people got hit by the car or motorcycle while crossing the road. In order to improve the traffic situations a good, efficient, well trained and honest team of traffic police should be allocated in the areas where there is more these problems and they should be well aware of their duties. Roads should be widened and local transport should strictly observe their allotted routes, over speeding should be checked and drivers found guilty should be punished, public awareness on traffic rules should be given importance.
I think, the concerned authorities will personally look into the matter and save the lives, time and property of people. So the situation will improve and people will enjoy save and smooth travelling.
