Analysis of Traffic Jam from New Market to Dhanmondi 27 and Findings Its Possible Solution

Abstract

Dhaka is the capital of Bangladesh, is the most densely populated city in the whole world. More than twelve million people lives in Dhaka city. Day by day the number is increasing and most part of Dhaka is badly affected by huge traffic jam.We have selected new market to Dhanmondi-27 roads because these roads are most of the busy and all-inclusive in Dhaka traffic system. These roads lead to schools, colleges, Universities, hospitals, and public and private workplaces. These roads are manually controlled by the police. Faulty traffic signaling systems, inadequate manpower, narrow road spaces and overtaking tendency of drivers create pro-longed traffic congestions. There is no emergency road system in all these roads. For which many bus,cars and ambulance are stuck in traffic jams and many patients fall in the lap of death. Due to the manual controlling, it takes almost 45 minutes to 1hour in this distance.
