VIP and non-VIP roads
There are four types of roads in Dhaka i.e. (i) VIP roads (ii) Non-VIP roads (iii) Two-lane (ways) roads and (iv) One-lane roads.
On VIP roads only the motor vehicles ply, rickshaws and push-carts are forbidden. On non-VIP roads all sorts of vehicles ply.
We feel that since rickshaws and push-carts are not allowed to ply on the VIP roads due to various reasons, plying of motor vehicles should not be allowed on some non-VIP roads whose breadth is less than fifteen feet which causes traffic jams.
Hundreds of motor vehicles, buses, trucks, cars, rickshaws and push-carts ply one after another continuously on two-lane (ways) and one-lane (way) roads resulting in great difficulty, wastage of time etc.
It is imperative that speed breakers, zebra crossings or underground passages are made in all important and busy points of the roads for the safety of the pedestrians crossing the roads.
Would the DCC and the DMP kindly look into the above long-neglected matters and do the needful as soon as possible in the interest of public?
