Turbat traffic

Published May 21, 2017

TURBAT is a very big city and its population is growing with every passing day. With the rise of the population, the number of vehicles like cars, cycles, trucks and buses are also increasing. However, with the increase in such vehicles, the problem of parking lots, especially for cars and motorcycles , has cropped up. Thus, it appears everyone is parking his car on roads, creating an unpleasnt atmosphere for all and sundry.

Moreover, the city does not have proper traffic lights and traffic police to control unruly drivers and citizens.

I request the government to immediately take steps to improve the traffic system. If anyone violates rules and regulations, he must be punished. Moreover, some parking lots may immediately be set up where people can park their cars and motorcycles.
