Traffic jam is not an uncommon phenomenon our country, especially in the Dhaka city. Traffic jam, by definition, is the huddling up of too many vehicles in a specific place of a highway or in a street, with the result that the vehicles clog up and cannot move ahead. This creates a great problem.

People who are busy on urgent business miss their timetable. In the morning, for example, many people fail to attend their workplaces in time. The transportation of goods get delayed. Perhaps the worst consequence is suffered by patients being carried to hospitals or clinics. The mental and physical sufferings, too, are no less important. Rickshaw pullers and baby taxi drivers, who usually live from hand to mouth, undergo a great suffering for the loss of their time. But not that it happens in all the place all the time. Again, not that only the street conditions and rule violating behavior of drivers cause it.

The number of vehicles, especially rickshaws, is a major cause of this nuisance. Whatever the cause, it is not unsolvable. Above all, we do not want to suffer so much.
