All these roads are useless unless commuters abide by driving rules and ethics. In 1988 I realised that Karachi had four lane dual carriage roads against two lanes in london 2 lane single carriage. USA inter city was 3 lane dual carriage and down town 2 lanes single carriage. If we were short on road space then and still, then blame is not on infra structure but on people using it. If you travel from Guru Mandir - North Nazimabad, Tariq Road, Islamia college road, sadar, etc etc. one lane is occupied by the shops' encroachment and rairi walas. Second and third lane is occupied by Rickshaw /car parking and buses stopping at will. only one lane is available for traffic. If this situation continues even a ten lane dual carriage will not help Pakistan. Traffic engineering has closed cuts between the islands to ensure smooth flow of traffic, people have started driving wrong side. I sometime wonder what will happen of this country in next 5-7 years.

Beautiful, MashAllah. Happy to see progress in Pakistan. How is the traffic management in major cities and on the highways? My mom is currently visiting Pakistan and she told me driving in Karachi is very bad. Like to hear from the locals ?
