Sir,1.Un necessary halts on highways specially T-Roads are the reason of congesstion.Should be fined for this. 2.Public transport system should be improved so that people prefer Public Transport than their own vehicle. 3GPS should be installed in public transport and stations from where people should get information about traffic jams. Mobile app in this regard can solve the problem.

To improve traffic flow in cities, intersections need to be redsigned taking into account the need for all users. The road width needs to be increased and where needed turning lanes need to be added. Pedestrians need to be recognised and provided for in the intersection design, as should be bus stops (before or after the intersection). Signal cycle timing should be less (typically 90 to 120 seconds) so that long queues dont build up. I have done my PhD in this area and am anxious to help.

Pedestrian facilities need to be improved. We need to enforce standards based on the classification of the roads. Footpaths need to be wider on major roads; and there should be no encroachments. Also, the height of the footpath should be 4 to 6 inches only so that elderly and young children can also use them. We could start by ensuring that the last 250 m of each school in cities has proper footpaths. This will help ensure the safety of children and also improve the pedestrian network.
