Canal road construction causes traffic jams on busy roads of Lahore

Lahore, December 26: The construction of canal road Lahore forces people to travel on different roads of the city and thus is being a reason of traffic jam on other roads. Traffic police has been completely unsuccessful so far in maintaining
the flow of the traffic and people are forced to travel on other roads because of the traffic clogging on canal road.

People are facing problems while travelling on the under construction canal road because the Punjab government has not provided any alternative plan for that.

Those who travel on canal road of its adjacent roads are suffering with inordinate traffic jams and find no way out of it because it has made all the roads excessively over loaded. These traffic jams usually occur throughout the day but
get intense in the lunch hours and at evening when people leave for their homes.

The main roads where people face traffic jam every time they travel on include, Ferozpur Road, Allama Iqbal Town Road, Mall Road, Wahdat Road, Jail Road, Lower Mall Road Davis Road and Main Boulevard Road.

Usually clogging traffic can be seen on Jail Road, Mall Road and Main Boulevard Road in the lunch hours because it is the same time when students of schools, colleges and universities leave their institutes for home. People get stuck on
the busy roads and the construction of canal road has made the situation more intense.

Traffic police is not playing its role effectively and because of their incompetency, people have to wait for a long time on every signal they come across along the way to their homes. In these traffic jams, sometimes ambulances, while
carrying patients to take them into hospital, fail to move ahead.

People want a diversion plan to avoid such king of traffic jams which have become a routine matter in Lahore. The traffic wardens also remain absent on the rush hours especially when students leave for their homes while working people
go out of their offices because of lunch break.

The huge traffic jams also become a reason of more fuel consumption that aggravates the anger and frustration of people on the roads.
