Remedies for Traffic Conditions in Kathmandu Valley
1. Providing different roads or routes for different types of traffic
2. Providing the movements of vehicles by making one-way traffic
3. Creating car parks and bike parks or side-bays at convenient places along the road
4. Providing terminal bus stops
5. Providing parking places in the shopping, commercial and recreational centres.
6. Providing proper facilities for the pedestrians at all crossings and junction of the roads
7. Prohibiting the parking of cars on the road sides
8. Adopting place and time segregation of traffic, which is the best
9. Providing education methods and awareness programs in public about traffic
congestion and how it can be solved.
10. By enforcing traffic rules and punishing the defaulters
11. By enforcing urban design guidelines
12. Focussing to the public facilities rather than transportation means
It seems the civic and traffic sense is badly lacking in the road users. And, in general,
there is no strict traffic control and enforcement of the rules resulting in the present day
chaotic and congested conditions in the city.
