Traffic flow in Goa has been hindered due to poor design of medians and bad roads. Majority of the traffic jams in the city are the result of bad engineering at traffic junctions which have become a hurdle for the smooth flow of traffic.
There are no zebra crossings or pedestrian signals. Lack of forethought and engineering are the main causes for the chaos at the traffic junctions. Moreover, potholes have contributed to the pathetic situations.
In old cities, traffic issues are still addressable as people understand that they cannot drive bigger vehicles on narrow lanes. They prefer riding a two-wheeler instead as the older design permits them only to drive scooters or bikes.
It is already a huge challenge for the government to provide world-class roads. However, it is alleged to be full of corruption and malpractices when it comes to the construction of roads.
Fraudulent contracts and agreements are said to be made with favoured contractors. Many times, the contractors allegedly use bad quality materials, old technologies and outdated specifications for roads.
