Divide the nation out of Dhaka

One more in my series on traffic management solutions for my hometown Dhaka. The suggestions are ideas that in my opinion could help ease the traffic mess in Dhaka. As always the idea can just as easily be replicated in all the other cities and towns across Bangladesh to benefit road users... provided intent.

Traffic Management: Lesson 7: Dhaka is only a mega-city by sheer volume of its population and by no means because of its infrastructure and facilities. It is a failed city and soon to be a dead one if we do not get our wits in order and organise and rearrange.

The traffic situation is moot point and testimony that the infrastructure in the city is no where near what it needs to be to simply cope.

Hand of Hope: This you gotta see...

The picture is that of a 21-week-old unborn baby named Samuel Alexander Armas, who is being
operated on by surgeon named Joseph Bruner. The baby was diagnosed with spina bifida and would not survive if removed from his mother's womb.

Little Samuel's mother, Julie Armas, is an obstetrics nurse in Atlanta. She knew of Dr. Bruner's remarkable surgical procedure. Practicing at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, he performs these special operations while the baby is still in the womb.
