The best solution is SCHOOL BUS in every school. All students must go to school via school bus. This will automatically ease traffic in shillong.
What about vehicles coming from Motinagar and proceeding towards Jingkieng, Nongrim Hills. Will the “No right turn” be removed at Lumsohphoh-Firebrigade junction?
It is highly appreciatable on the part of traffic department of meghlaya to try different ways to ease traffic congestion in the city during school hours but as our roads are small and vehicles are more, do traffic congestion will be there no one can help it. Every parents who has their own vehicle will always go to drop their kids to school . So, I would like to request to all schools of laitumkhrah to provide bus services for their own school students which will drop and pickup from their school premises. Then only parents will send their kids in the school buses.
Thank you.
Increase the taxation in cars by 15 times. Sale of cars will drop as a result traffic will not coagulate going further.
