Abstract
Few years back no one had any idea what traffic congestion was but during the last two years it
has become a major problem in most people's life. Believe it or not it is becoming a huge
obstacle for the economic growth as it is slowing down our everyday pace in work. I believe to
get out of the crisis situation, we need to change ourselves first by obeying traffic rules. Most of
us lose out temper and do mistakes in the traffic jam. We are so lazy that we like to sit for hours
in traffic jam but not walk or cycle, which are also proved throughout the survey. All the
uneducated bus drivers and truck drivers do not drive on their own lanes rather drive on the
middle. These uneducated people are the main reasons of traffic congestion, they are also
responsible for causing accidents. Traffic rules of Bangladesh are not implemented strictly. This
is what all people take advantage of and do whatever they want on roads since they do not have
to worry for punishment as most traffic police are also corrupt. So, to change the system each
and everyone has to change.
