"We are thinking of limiting car parking on roads. As we are
continuing to extend roads, but the cars will continue to park on the
extended roads. The majority of the problems we are facing now are
traffic jam,” said the chief minister.
The Yangon Regional Government is thinking of imposing a restriction
on car parking and they have a plan to submit it to the parliament.
Although the construction of over passes and new roads are underway to
ease congestion in Myanmar's commercial capital, traffic seems to be
getting worse.
The majority of the traffic jam takes place in Hledan, Shwegon Taing
and Bayint Naung where overpasses are being built. Traffic jam occur
daily on most roads in Yangon.
Experts think that traffic jams occur because of too many vehicles,
lack of road discipline by drivers, shortages in traffic police as well
as weaknesses in the roads and public transportation system.
