Stop traffic rule violations

Violating traffic rules has become a common practice due to the lack of traffic law enforcement. This does not only make our roads unsafe but also worsens traffic congestion. The number of road accidents is increasing day by day, many of which occur due to the violation of traffic rules. 

It was reported by The Daily Star that 57 cases were filed against traffic rule violators in a single spot alone, leaving us to wonder how many violations are committed daily in the entire city of Dhaka. 

The traffic police department has always cited the lack of manpower as the main reason why they are unable to enforce traffic rules. The government must address this issue. It should also consider providing more financial support to the traffic police department to acquire tools and technology to catch the offenders.
