KARACHI, Oct 11: Effective traffic management resulted in free flow of traffic during the first half of holy month on almost all thoroughfares of Karachi except Golimar up to Business Recorder Road where traffic clog was a daily affair.

The town municipal administration has banned the parking of commercial and other vehicles along the road but failure in implementing the ban troubled the ordinary commuters.

Most of the parked vehicles found were commercial trucks unloading sanitary ware besides pickups used for delivery of sanitary items.

The city government also closed the two entry points when the road was constructed but motorcyclists made way to avoid a long U-turn. This unauthorized removal of pavement not only hindered traffic flow but also put the life of motorcyclists at risk.

A similar situation existed on Business Recorder Road from Lasbella intersection to Patel Para where despite removal of encroachments, the parked taxis and rickshaws in front of auto workshops hindered traffic in peak hours before Iftar.—APP
