The frequent and unpredictable closures and reopenings of roads during road work in Panaji have created significant traffic congestion and frustration for commuters. This has led to a disregard for traffic rules, with many drivers now ignoring "No Entry" signs to circumvent the chaos. This is making things dangerously unsafe too. To mitigate these issues, it is crucial to implement more structured traffic management plans during roadwork. Implementing an "odd-even" system, where vehicles with odd-numbered and even-numbered license plates are allowed on alternate days, could significantly reduce traffic volume and alleviate congestion while construction work is underway. This measure would not only improve traffic flow but also contribute to a more organized and efficient transportation system in the city. To minimize disruption caused by road closures, daily maps indicating open and closed roads should be published in local newspapers until the work is completed.
