They should create better public transport and start imposing taxes for heavy vehicles (private busses included). Might lubricate traffic a little.

Take some lesson/training from dubai how to control the traffic. You guys are still struggling for decades without success. Our guys dont know and dont want to learn also. only wasting public time and money.

@ OMG, absolutely true, so confusing and a hodge podge of times and routes. Proper town and city planning is whats needed here, not politicos and incompetents wanting a cushy job at CMC. Now they have handed planning over to the poor fellows of traffic police.

Biggest problem is the Police implementing the rule of law when they feel like it. Lane law should be 27/7. One time they encourage the drives to break the law and a few mnts later they expect then to follow the law. Next watch them directing traffic. They have a sign language of their own, teach them to give clear hand signs.

The traffic is a sign of progress. Management of the traffic must be done by bringing experts. No lane closures will solve the problem. Better city planning, different times for different schools, and public transport will ease the problem.

Trafic Police should allow the Signal Light to work rather than swithching off and to control the traffic on their own, they should clear it when there is a block. These Policemen they just keep allowing one track to go for a long time and they forget that because of this many bylane get conjested.
