Poor parking sense
Ref. letter in DS 1/7/05, on lack of parking sense by owners and drivers in Dhaka city, [double and triple parking in front of schools, shopping streets], the [fake] driving licences may be seized, and the vehicle owners may be heavily fined. The DCC is slow in earmarking more parking spaces all over the city, and should not boast about a single 14-floor parking complex in Motijheel CA.
Also it is not clear how a large number of multi-storied buildings have been allowed to be constructed so close to one another, disregarding the huge traffic generated around each building.
In foreign countries, the police do not talk, but stick fine clips on the windscreens or hand over to the drivers. These cannot be cancelled by the police writing it, and the fine has to be paid in cash in the local office (not paid to the prosecuting police writing out the slip).
