>[Dhaka, Bangladesh] almost completely lacks the basic infrastructure and rule of law that make big cities navigable. There are just 60 traffic lights in Dhaka, and they are more or less ornamental; few drivers heed them. The main problem with Dhaka’s anarchic streets, though, is that there aren’t enough. The Daily Star has reported that just 7 percent of Dhaka is covered by roads. (In places like Paris and Barcelona, models of 19th-century urban planning, the number is around 30 percent.) Footpaths are also an issue. There are too few sidewalks in Dhaka, and those that exist are often impassable, occupied by vendors and masses of poor citizens who make their homes in curbside shanties.

EXTREME URBAN RENEWAL
Basically identify the existing stuff that is important and needs to stay. Everything else is free to be bulldozed. Screw the people in the way.

I've spent time in Dehli / Gurgaon in India and the traffic was a nightmare.
The most remarkable thing was the lines on the highway were ignored. Traffic would settle into +1 lanes than the official number. So a 4 lane highway would have 5 lanes of traffic, with cars riding on top of the division lines
The amount of honking was insane. People honk so others know where they are, since nobody is paying attention and everyone is in danger
Some people crusade against honking. Their cars have "PLEASE DONT HONK" other people love honking, and their cars say "HONK PLEASE FOR SAFE" or some bullshit
Truly insane place that is clearly not ready for modern technology

>Honk please
Just like choochoos in murrica, honking like little kids on ecery occasion

Something similar happened in Cusco, Peru, but nowhere near as chaotic. There were hardly any traffic lights or signs, so every car just weaved through when they could. Everyone would honk all the time, but they were just small "beep!"s, a light tap on the horn, just to tell people you're there. Also almost every car was covered in reflective tape, and nobody would speed or impede traffic. It was actually pretty great, like watching a bunch of fish swim around in chaotic synchrony.
Of course there were hardly any bikes, would have been pretty hairy. Also almost every road was cobbles.

That's hilarious

this is why I hate my country. Karnataka is turning into this to, Bangalore got flodded with people 20 years ago and now its total ASS. The lanes are occupied that way because if you stick to the lines, some retarded dhboi will pop out with his maruthi and gun it into the ass of another driver or an ox. And there are now dogs everywhere, so nobody wants to hit the dogs. If you try and bike, you will be fumigated more efficiently than hitler's showers. And rammed. The trains within the city are a mess, and namma metro is total shit, with departments overseeing two wings of the same terminal pushing job responsibility over to the other guy, etc. Ever want to walk in a gigantic U shape to walk to a platform literally next to you?

>The Government decided to import 5,000 new taxis with the engine capacity of 1,500cc. The government also plans to raise the total number of taxis to 18,000 gradually.[114]
You know your shit is fucked when your transport plan for a city of 17 million people is to import a few dozen taxis.
