Stop driving on the wrong side

Dhaka is a city of severe traffic jam. But in recent times, we have noticed a considerable increase in the intensity of traffic jams in Dhaka. Construction work of the flyovers and the heavy rain are two major causes behind this problem. Unfortunately, during these traffic jams, many drivers are unwilling to comply with traffic rules. Instead of waiting in line like others, some decide to start driving on the wrong side of the road. Such actions cause even more congestion and severe problems for the traffic police and other commuters.

I think this particular problem can be solved by increasing the number of law enforcers at critical traffic points in the city. A city cannot thrive without a proper and smooth traffic system. So, until the flyovers are completed, the government should consider increasing manpower on the streets.
