Despite five years since drafting, Dhaka’s parking policy has yet to be finalized or implemented. The draft emphasizes the importance of regulated parking to ease traffic congestion and outlines strict measures against illegal roadside parking. Delays stem from lack of government focus and official transfers. Unauthorized parking and sidewalk occupation continue to worsen traffic jams and citizen hardship. The policy aims to coordinate management across Dhaka and surrounding districts, encouraging private sector involvement and enforcement by traffic police and local authorities.
