Hello Steemian Friends!
Assalamu Alaikum. Greetings and welcome to my competition today. Welcome to the sixth week of the 33rd week of Learning Challenger. The topic of my competition today is --
SLC-S33/W6 | Our Surroundings: Let´s Talk About the News - How has traffic been in your region. As a competition topic, I have come to share with you a review of traffic congestion in our area.
Traffic scene on the road
First of all, I would like to thank our dear brother
@kibreay001 &
@adeljose for sharing such a beautiful topic with everyone, through which I got the opportunity to participate in the competition. So I am going back to the main part of the discussion --
How would you describe the general traffic flow in your region during peak hours? Are there significant differences in traffic between weekdays and weekends?
Nowadays, there is traffic congestion in all directions, no matter where you go. However, the road that I will describe to you is not so congested. In other words, the road is almost empty. However, when there is traffic congestion on the main road, there is also traffic congestion on the inner road. In busy times, when we go somewhere quickly, there is traffic congestion on the road.

During this busiest time, when there is a traffic jam, it becomes very difficult for us to reach our destination. Especially during the working days of the week, there are a lot of traffic jams on the roads. Because everyone does their necessary work while the offices are open. Moreover, the workers go to and from work.
CNG and private cars are always on this road.
That is why the road conditions are very bad on working days. But on holidays, the roads are empty. Since the offices and courts are closed, there is less traffic. Then, private cars come out less, so there are fewer problems on the road.
What are the conditions of the main roads in terms of maintenance and signage?
The road conditions in our tourist city of Cox's Bazar are very congested. Especially in winter, there are a lot of traffic jams on the roads. And the one where there is a highway, accidents always happen. Because it is a single-lane road, cars come from both directions, so they collide. Due to which, a lot of casualties are reported. And on the roads inside, although the number of accidents is less, there are a lot of traffic jams.
The green plants and the view of the road are very beautiful.
Now the roads are empty during the rainy season because there are fewer tourists in the city. Moreover, fewer people come to the city during the rainy season. Due to which, there is less traffic congestion in the city during the rainy season. If the road is made into two lanes, the traffic congestion will be reduced. When cars come and go from both directions, there will be chaos on the road; there will be no traffic jam, and people will not have any problems.
What is the current state of traffic signs and traffic lights in your area?
It can be said that there are no traffic signs or traffic lights in our area. However, there are a few intersections where traffic police are present. When there is a lot of traffic congestion on the road, they control it. If there were traffic lights or traffic signs, it would be very convenient. If such an initiative is taken by the government or private sector, it would be very good for everyone.
There are many large buildings on the roadside as well as small streets for walking.
In many areas, there are traffic signs or traffic lights. But where we live, there are no traffic signs or traffic lights.
What types of vehicles are most prevalent on the main roads in your region?
In our area, big buses are seen on the main roads. Especially those going to Dhaka and Chittagong, big buses are seen more. Small cars are seen less. Small cars are more in the inner lanes. Especially the road scene that I shared with you is from the main road to the inner road, where big cars are not seen. However, private cars are seen. Moreover, at night, big cars enter here.

Especially those that are freight cars enter. However, after ten o'clock at night. Small cars, private cars, rickshaws, and tom-tom cars are seen more here all day long.
How would you describe the driving culture in your region? Are drivers responsible behind the wheel?
The way I would describe the driving culture in our area is that a driver must be responsible. A driver must be aware of education and training. He must be proficient in everything. It will not be like that if you are a driver because if you are a trained driver, you can fix your own car. You have to have a perspective on how driving is good for you and your passengers.
All small cars are allowed on this road.
A trained driver will be aware of following his directions. He will be careful not to put passengers in danger. If he is trained, he will be able to handle the problems of his own car in detail. There is a lack of training for drivers in our country. If training is arranged by the government and private initiatives, it will be very good.
Roadside view
The local drivers in our country drive after completing some kind of driving course. Due to this, the number of accidents is high, and they are in danger anywhere.
Environmental impact & (With pictures + videos) & Location (Steem Atlas pin)
The place where I took the photography of the road traffic, the photography of the surrounding environment, and the video was a little quiet. Especially at the time I went, there was a little less traffic. However, at other times, there is a lot of traffic; sometimes there is a jam. However, the environment is not bad; it is very beautiful. I shared the photography with the description above.
I took a selfie standing there.
Along with this, I have now shared the video with you. I am also sharing the location. I hope everyone will enjoy reading my review today. Thank you very much to everyone for taking the valuable time to visit my blog today. May everyone be healthy. Allah Hafez.
