Non-functional traffic signals cause gridlocks

Rawalpindi - Non-functional traffic signals are causing the worst traffic jams in Rawalpindi.
Most of the traffic signals in the city, especially at Benazir Bhutto Road, Saidpur Road, Airport Road and Rawal Road, are out of order.  Worst traffic jams are witnessed on various roads, including Benazir Bhutto Road, Saidpur Road, City Saddar Road, Dhoke Hassu Road, Kashmiri Bazaar, Gawalmandi Road, GTS Chowk, Tipu Road, Bhabra Bazaar, China Market, College Road, Iqbal Road, Ganjmandi Road, Bagh Sardaran Road, Chah Sultan Road, Dingi Khoi Road, Pirwadhai Road, Satellite Town Road, Airport Road, Mall Road, Bank Road, Chungi No. 22 Road, Adiala Road and Waris Khan Road.

Most roads are without traffic wardens and wherever they are present they seem helpless in controlling the traffic mess. The citizens have urged the concerned authorities to take solid steps to avoid traffic jams.
