Valuable measures, which can be taken to solve the traffic jam problem in Chandigarh are few, but viable. Firstly, the authorities can stagger the traffic by asking the school or office authorities to change their timings. Roads should be widened & more lanes should be added for cycles, auto-rickshaws, cars & buses. Those not following the lanes should be fined heavily. Metros & underpasses can be started too to overcome the problem.
Veteran citizens of this city are of the view that the substructure of the city should be considered in a gradual manner to build plenty of flyovers, multi- storeyed/ underground parking & slip roads to help the commuters drive smoothly.
Similarly, some citizens also feel that traffic suffocation can also be eased by arranging traffic signals at all T-points in order to prevent commotion & mishaps. They feel that
construction of short pedestrian crossings, wider sidewalks & footpaths will prove helpful for commuters.
There are some residents of Chandigarh, who feel that the state Transport authority should encourage people to use public transport. They feel that this will help in curbing traffic jam problems.According to these residents, FM Radio Stations can also help in teaching people, the benefits of public transport.I feel that such Radio Stations can also give tips on avoiding, creating a traffic jam.
Last but not the least, Car Pooling can also help commuters, positively in traffic chaos problems. Few families can pool in together to go in one car either to their offices or drop their kids to their schools. This will certainly reduce the number of vehicles on the road, resulting in, less rush on roads.
Hopefully, all these arrangements & precautions can decrease the stubborn traffic congestion problem in our (certainly) ' City Beautiful ' , Chandigarh.
