either driving public or private vehicles. The pie chart below describes our respondents

80% of our respondents approved road widening and they were glad to have it
done as soon as possible. As there were many accidents were observed in this route,
motorist liked to widen the carriage way so that they can see the incoming vehicles they

that just implementation of roadway signs is nearly enough to lessen this problem. Road
widening, as they said, is just needs an additional budget for the government and may
cause some issues of corruption.
