Wider Roads

Roads of Kathmandu are on the way of getting wider. In one way it's great thing. It's very good to have wider roads with no traffic jams, and no traffic jams also mean no ta ta tu tu of vehicles. But in another way there are many negative things that these wider roads are bringing. The first one is, these wider roads are making sever families homeless and also hope less. The second one is these wider roads are encouraging people to buy more private vehicles. They are thinking they should buy a new car or a new bike because the road of Kathmandu is getting bigger. What I think is I this way the traffic problem of Kathmandu will never be solved. Rather than people should think about cycle lanes. And it's because this will reduce the burden of our country i.e no more petrol lines and no more problem with IOC, better health, less polluted kathmandu, no more school buses will require as school kids will themselves will use cycle to go to school and no more economic burden to low income family. And there are severals benefits of cycle. We will explore them only after riding.
