This biggest issue on our roads is the road side parking, almost one lane of the road, both sides have been taken for parking..if this can be got rid of, most congestions and non stop honkings can be avoided.
Compare with the photos around 1948 how was our Capital city seen we must be proud how the same city & and Island has changed in to what we see hearby . Yes, there Are some sections yet to be developed but being SRILANKANS we have a lot to be happy about our Motherland.
Why cant the authorities in charge of trafick prevent vehicles being parked on the pavements obstructing the smooth flow of trafick.omg cant they get it right 😮
One thing is for sure 😒 in Sri Lanka they just park vehicles almost everywhere 🙄 looks like there are no laws or regulations about parking 🙄 it's dangerous and obstructing to the traffic 🙄🤔
Seems like you haven't ever been out of the country cuz parking on the side of the roads is common in every country, the only thing is the government need to build parking spaces which the government has failed, its not a people's problem its the infrastructure
@@muazunais2378 which countries 🙄 India, Pakistani, Bangladesh maybe 🤔 not where I live, I live in Norway, if someone parks a vehicle here, the way they park in Sri Lanka, they'll be fined and towed away 🙄 an example; marine drive a 4 lane road becomes a 2 lane road, because people are parking on both sides of the road 🙄🤔in Sri Lanka they even park on the side walks, where the people are supposed to walk🙄🤔
No, they don't just park anywhere. The majority of the vehicles are parked in permitted parking spots. Although some may not seem obvious. And If you look around the streets are clean and organised as well which is a generic trait of the country.
@@dayaweerasinghe4370 Yes. Parking everywhere irritates trafic and obstructes the way. I live also in scandinavia . Expensive parking tickets and fines make stress in people in developed countries. Sri lankan people have low stress bcz of low regulations. Everything has positive and negative aspects.
ohgod! (1) no such thing as a "flyover system". "Flyover" is olden days American slang for 'overpass'. Overpasses are not systems but small overhead traffic bridges over crossroads and junctions. You may get sets of overpasses that enable smoother traffic flow in several adjacent junctions. That is what this video is showing. And compared with sets of overpasses in cities with genuinely heavy traffic flows (e.g. Bangkok, NY, Mumbai, Tokyo etc), our Slave Island set of overpasses is quite tiny - narrow, single lanes! (2) What this driver is imagining are the real "upper deck speedway" systems as in Tokyo (in Tokyo in a few places one can count 6 decks of roads! including a railway line!). Those are real upper deck systems. Colombo needs a few. We have one short upper deck roadway feeding Colombo Port from across the Kelani River. A previous government had planned a longish upper deck from Malambe to Borella and beyond. It was to be parallel to a 'skyrailway' (overhead rapid transit rail). But a new govt came and because the new set of politicians were demanding a new set of bribes, the Japan aid agency gave up and within 2 years had built same in Dhaka! (3) Our set of (small) overpasses (guvan paalam) in Slave Island ARE YET TO BE COMPLETED. (4) they have destroyed the more than 100 years old single long building originally built by the Dutch East India Company (VOC), which resulted in the road being named "Company Street". In Sinhalese it was translated as "Kompannya Veediya", the "kompannya" being the Sinhala transliteration of the Dutch "compagnie" (an not sure of spelling). Anyway that historic landmark is gone. In more intelligent countries (e.g. China, UK, Jap, Australia) rather than destroy, they somehow preserve such landmarks and modernise around them. So tourists have things to see in an otherwise boring, dusty, ugly, urban centres.

Everyone is focusing on India and how it never changes. Meanwhile Sri Lanka is becoming a very nice place.

@@DrTsdk fines make people obeying the laws 🙄🤔 there's no stress just obey the laws of the country including the traffic laws 🙄🤔
Why do they bother painting lines on the streets when drivers simply ignore them? 😂😂😂
