Unauthorized parking on busy roads and footpaths in Dhaka, especially in areas like Karwan Bazar and New Eskaton Road, is causing severe traffic jams and public inconvenience. Despite policies by the Dhaka Transport Coordination Authority, enforcement remains weak. Vehicles, including government ones, are often parked illegally, blocking traffic and pedestrian movement. Experts blame poor governance and lack of strict law enforcement. City corporations conduct eviction drives, but encroachments frequently return, making sustainable solutions urgently needed to ease the city’s traffic woes.
