VIPs in Dhaka often drive on the wrong lanes, which creates traffic chaos. Firemen and police also need separate lanes for quick responses to emergencies, Alam said, explaining the rationale for the move. An official of the Road Transport Division told bdnews24.com that the Dhaka Transport Coordination Authority is gathering feedback for the proposal. “We aren’t certain yet about the future of the proposal.”Road Transport Minister Obaidul Quader urged influential people to stop driving on the wrong lanes.
