Commuter's life
This objective oriented diagnosis is for finding a solution-- so I studied my daily commuting experience in Dhaka Metropolitan City (DC) roads. We need a turnaround or I call it “branding” to make the road management effective. This does not require 'rocket science software', as Deming's plan-do-check-act PDCA cycle - a world class execution recipe, can do it effectively.
In an effective traffic system --
Passengers wait for buses, in DC, buses wait for passengers; symbols are for compliance, in DC, symbol is for defiance; symbol defiance costs penalty, in DC, non-compliance brings reward; displays text message for observance, in DC, voice requests performance; compliance is monitored, in DC, compliance is nobody's business; job aid is modern megaphone, in DC, job aid is primitive ' stick and whistle'; intersections are widened, in DC, crossing is for display of showpiece; intersections are smooth and speedy, in DC, crossing is bumpy and breaks speed; cross-roads are free from parking, in DC, bus stand is right on the crossing; electronic signals replaced roundabouts, in DC, roundabouts are refurbished; time-zone rules pick and off-pick hours, in DC, liberty of time is granted to all; zebra crossings are for pedestrians, in DC, vehicles pause on zebra crossing; footpaths are for pedestrians, in DC, both footpaths and roads are for pedestrians. Footpaths are for walking, in DC, footpaths are for economic activities!
