Traffic signals of technical mismanagement, the sufferings of extreme!
The government is taking steps to resolve the traffic congestion in capital Dhaka. As part of that, advanced technology including signal lights, timer countdowns have been installed in the city's inter-circle movement. But now all the traffic police flute and hand pointer are running. Although technology improves in every area of the country, traffic signal is in primitive way. The city dweller has to suffer from this. Although the government has implemented technical projects for controlling traffic signal, people are not benefiting from it.
Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) traffic division and Dhaka North and South City Corporation work under the control of the traffic movement of the capital Dhaka. The work of establishing these signal lights for the traffic signal and traffic control of the city started in 2005. Under the Dhaka Urban Transport Project, the traffic signal lights were set up at 70 locations for the funding of the World Bank. This work is done on 22 November 2009. Later, the signal lights were installed in more than 30 locations. Another 5 crore was spent for the maintenance.
After the first phase, the work of setting up a timer for traffic signage at the cost of 15 million 75 lakh taka in 70 locations in the city from June 2013. Later, the timer was set up at traffic signal to the remaining 30 places at a cost of Tk 10 crore.
When the timer runs through the vehicle, the timer will show how long the signal will be left. This allows drivers to get ready.
In the beginning, signage of 25 crores in the light of the signal, then maintenance cost 5 crore taka. More than 20 million taka added to the timer and solar. The total expenditure in five years is 50 crore taka. All the waste It seems that the people of the city do not even have a single job, as well as the plan planning experts, ordinary people.
In the capital, many signals have been seen in the capital, most of the signals are not lit. Many places have broken lights. However, in the capital, Vijay Samrani, Dhanmondi 27, Fisheries Building, Asad Gate, Bailey Road, Kakrail, and several places including signal lights and timers. But there is no notice on the traffic police. Traffic signals are controlling the hand signals of their own will. Due to the fact that the lights and timers are active, electricity is wasted every time.
According to City Corporation data, the cost of electricity, maintenance and maintenance of the traffic lights, repair and maintenance of traffic lights, timer and timers were about Rs. 80 lakh per year, which was carried out by the city corporation.
Director of Traffic Control Project of Dhaka South City Corporation said. Sahab Ullah told the Prince Observer Online that the work of traffic signal lamp project is still in progress. One task does not end quickly. This is how experimental work is done in different countries of the world. We also started working primarily. It is not right to say that its absolute realization will be relaxed.
During this time, he expressed hope that the work of the project is ongoing. Some signals are damaged by lights, they will be repaired again. Maybe in the future, these signaling lights will be used again in advanced technology.
When asked about the signal and the timer was damaged, the traffic police control signal is in control of the Signal of the capital's Signala. He said, "I can not say about the traffic police at Signala, why they control the point of hand." However, all signals are not damaged. The lamp and timer run through the technology. It may be a waste of time. But they will be repaired. The VVIPs' cars swiftly swirl across the city during the signal signals. In the future, it will be done in mind.
When asked if the lamp is not lit yet, the City Corporation's constant expenditure on the project, he said, the lamp is not wasted. It goes with technology, the cost will be.
According to information given by the Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) traffic department, traffic police control traffic movement through the green-yellow-red light when the signal lights were launched, the traffic police. However, the signal flows into the signal lights only when it does not go for two years. Now the signal lights on most sides are bad. As a result traffic control is now being directed by traffic police.
Senior assistant commissioner of Ramna area of Dhaka Metropolitan Police's traffic department said. Alauddin Observer told online that our traffic department is working to improve traffic signals and complete modern technology. Work is being taken forward with discussions with two city corporations to improve Signal's lights and timers.
He said, we are always working to improve the signal system of the capital. Meanwhile, the use of improved signal has started in Gulshan area. This will be done in Dhaka city next year.
A senior official of the traffic police said, "It is not possible to keep the signal size of the signal light in any way when it is given to VVIP Protocol. For the arrival of a VVIP, the lanterns on the other side are closed while the other side is open and the signal lights are stuck. It also affects the surroundings of the signals. It is also forced to stop the movement of vehicles. As a result, the signal timing becomes ineffective. He has to re-fix To do this, the whole city has to intervene in the signal system.
