Traffic jam is a long queue of vehicles on a road. It is a great problem and nuisance for the modern society. It causes unspeakable sufferings for urban people. Many vehicles moving on the same road at the same time cause a traffic jam. Besides, our traffic police are not sincere. They often do not do their duties honestly. The drivers are indifferent to traffic rules. They try to get more passengers stopping their buses here and there. All these things together cause traffic jams. Moreover, too many rickshaws plying on the streets is another cause of traffic jam. At the time of traffic jam, I feel extremely bored as it kills our valuable time. This trouble should not be allowed to continue. The strict law should be imposed to control traffic jam. Exemplary punishment should be given to the drivers who do not obey traffic rules. Above all, the traffic authority should be more active to enforce traffic rules and maintain the discipline on the roads.
