We have been trying to combat traffic jams but are a failure, which implies our methods to control the traffic are absurd. Thus we need to reconsider the problem plus solution to arrive at an efficient traffic system.
Our road development authorities and their so called the highly skilled planners and engineers are just highly paid planners and engineer, but are just opposite in their output to the country. In result we see traffic jam causing air pollution, sound pollution, time wastage, wastage of resources, and absurd infra-structure.
Our cities have two types of road, the longer roads and shorter roads. Longer roads are somewhat similar to spinal cord, while the shorter roads intersecting them resemble ribs. Longer roads are obviously used for longer journeys. While, the shorter roads are for to and fro within the city.
Our idiot planners and idiot engineers propose and erect magnificent long bridges and claim to control the traffic but within weeks people come to know that long bridges the fly-overs have done little for the traffic jams. Our idiot planners and engineers are more interested in foreign study tours than in solving our specific problems.
Magnificent bridges built to fill the vacuum in field of architecture in city is a wrong remedy, for architecture there are many other avenues to upgrade our city, leave the bridges, they are meant to control traffic jams, and provide efficient traffic system and if they can’t whole motive is a failure. Our idiot planners and idiot engineers are more interested in erecting magnificent structure, no matter even if they are ineffective.
It is a fact that the intra-city traffic the to and fro within the city is the source of traffic jam and not the traffic which is towards longer distance. The to and fro traffic and long journey traffic when they come face to face at intersection, that is the obvious source of traffic jam.
When our idiot planners and idiot engineers erect long fly-over they divert the long journey traffic from road to fly-overs, but these idiot don’t know that intra-city to and fro traffic also takes the long road within the city. Such traffic won’t take fly-over as they are intra-city traffic. It is also obvious that the intra-city traffic on long roads below fly-over and intra-city traffic on shorter roads intersecting long roads would however meet at intersections, and would cause traffic jam. Note, what solution has long fly-overs bought? Traffic Jam is as usual! This is the case of wrong remedy.
Our idiot planners and idiot engineers fail to combat intra-city traffic with their absurd plans and structures. Our cities need several or a series of shorter bridges on intersection rather than one long fly-over. The problem is where long road traffic meets the short road traffic at intersection. If short bridges are made on rib roads all the short road traffic will take bridges and long road traffic will be free without hindrance as there will be no or minimal intersection. The vehicles on short roads which are going towards long road would simply go from side of short bridges and merge with long road traffic.
Long bridges are not meant for cities, they are made to connect different points having large distance causing inconvenience due to their natural positions. Like mouth of a bay needs such structure, longer bridges. Cities become disgusting with lots of long bridges inside them.
Displaying architectural skills and making efficient system for traffic are two different things. We don’t need traffic jamming long flyovers displaying our engineering skills; we need shorter bridges which make our traffic flow efficient. I propose all road authorities to consider and ask our idiot planners and idiot engineers to stop being just architecture but become efficient in terms of their outputs. Minor level tests can verify the proposal.
