Talking to reporter, an official of the Balochistan government on Thursday said the provincial government had already taken measures to improve traffic system and road infrastructure for the convenience of road users.
To improve the prevailing traffic system, he said the government had also been considering to make further legislation on traffic rules.
The official said the government had allocated a special package for provincial capital to expand its various roads to ensure smooth flow of traffic and provide better transport facilities to masses.
He said the government had also allocated huge funds in the current Public Sector Development Programme for roads construction, installation of traffic signals and marking lanes on the roads of the province.
He said unavailability of designated parking areas was the main factor of traffic jam in the provincial capital city. The vehicles parked on the main roads caused nuisance to the other roads users, he added.
