The Russell Square-Panthapath road is basically a commercial based residential area. So therefore this area have a large amount

of high-rise buildings. In this road 3 hospitals are situated. A lots of the fast-food shop, furniture shop, bus counter are there

OBSERVATION

The main and basic problem is observed there

is geometric design. Lane width, Footpath,

Divider, Cross section are not designed

properly.

Presence of lot of side roads is another

problem for this road as they always

interrupted the main flow of the road.

Heterogeneous vehicle flow is another main

problem for this section. Non-motorized

vehicle causes traffic congestion as they are

main obstruction for high speedy vehicle.

Traffic police in this section is inadequate in

numbers com-pared to other place in Dhaka

OBSERVATION

Streets of this section are not that wide spread,

due to illegal possession on the road they are

getting narrow and becoming a reason behind

traffic jam.

Illegal parking on the road has been creating

congestion every day from Russell square to

Panthapath, a distance of around two

kilometers. On-road parking of vehicles is one

of the main reasons behind serious traffic

congestion on different parts of the road.

Lack of automatic traffic signals, proper sign

and marking is another basic problem in this

section.

RECOMMENDATION

A ‘windshield survey’ would also have

generated better results, & led to a more

detailed conclusion.

Removal of potholes for the free flowing

vehicular movement is important for

increasing travel speed & decreasing travel

time.

Road surface, markings and signs should be

well designed and maintained

Law enforcement agency be more active in

enforcing traffic.

Raise awareness among pedestrians about

road safety and encourage them to use

footpaths in a regular and orderly manner
