Parking lots
Abul M Ahmad, Dhaka
While the brilliant revised master plans mature, the police may enforce some simple rules on parking with immediate effect (with low capital expenditure): a) no parking or halts on designated main roads; [ Mirpur Rd, Elephant Rd, etc. and all over the city]. b) no kerbside parking near schools, shopping centres/areas; bazaars /markets. Park only in parking lots (sign displayed). The shoppers or students can walk a bit to the vehicles. c) no parking or halting at road junctions within 25 steps/yards. The crossing must be kept free.These simple steps would reduce traffic jam to a great extent. A pilot project may be tried before the Eid.
