1. Firstly insufficient amount of road. At least 20% area of the city should be
allocated for road but in Dhaka there is only 7%
2. Automatic signal should be placed whereas in Dhaka signals are maintained
manually
 3. Due to non-availability of parking place, people park their vehicle at wrong places
that create jam
4. In Dhaka there are seventeen different types of transport having different speeds
are moving on the road. This is a major cause of jam
5. Unfit vehicles and non trained drivers create trouble on the road

And causes Jam.

Slide 8 :

1. We are losing our energy and time in the jam

3. At every jam, vehicles are burning fuel. On a study it was seen that Bangladesh
looses 3 Billion US Dollar in a year due to traffic jam only
4. We get mentally sick being in jam. People loose tempers

Slide 9:
