Abstract:
The research is about to analyze the Kawran Bazar Condition in Dhaka, Bangladesh. One big problem was traffic jams, which have a bad impact on society, the environment, the economy, and daily life. The Kawran Bazar intersection in Dhaka, Bangladesh, is one of the most congested in the city, experiencing high traffic volumes throughout the day. This thesis aims to analyze the efficiency of the current traffic condition system at the intersection and propose modifications to enhance traffic flow and reduce congestion. Day by day the vehicle and population number is increasing and most of Dhaka is badly affected by massive traffic jam. Faulty traffic signaling systems, inadequate human resources, narrow and broken road spaces, and the overtaking tendency of drivers create pro-longed traffic congestion. Due to traffic jams a substantial portion of working hours have to be left on streets which indirectly has an adverse impact on economy. It causes serious air pollution and noise pollution and thus worsens the overall environmental condition. To reduce traffic jam, the government can consider the construction of roads through east-west connection of Dhaka city, construction of circular embankment-cum-road along the periphery of Dhaka city, a grade-separated road network system, bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system, and Metro-Rail system. By reducing traffic jams, this city can play a very important role by ensuring a healthy environment free from noise and pollution.
