KARACHI: Traffic jams in the morning and evening rush hours continue to torment the citizens as authorities have failed to resolve the problem despite the construction of many flyovers, underpasses and signal-free roads. The main reason behind these traffic jams are encroachments along roadsides. The government has completed several road projects to overcome the traffic problem but there hasn’t been any letup as yet. Roadside vendors and extended shops on the roads also cause traffic jams. Apart from creating diseases like lung ailments, traffic jams also cause accidents.
