Srinagar Traffic Disrupted by Heavy Rainfall

Recent heavy rains in Srinagar have caused significant traffic disruptions, with key roads inundated and malfunctioning traffic lights exacerbating the situation, leaving commuters, including government employees and students, stranded for extended periods. In Bengaluru, traffic congestion has surged nearly fourfold since January, reaching an average daily length of 1,638 km due to a combination of monsoon rains, potholes, and an increasing number of vehicles. Meanwhile, the M25 in the UK is experiencing slow traffic, particularly at Junction 10 and Junction 5, due to roadworks, with delays reported by traffic analysts. In Aurangabad, traffic congestion in the old city has become a daily menace, attributed to street vendor encroachments and poor traffic management, prompting residents to call for stricter regulations. The situation in Chennai reflects similar frustrations over overcrowded eateries causing pedestrian inconveniences despite government efforts to create designated vending zones. Overall, these instances highlight a widespread challenge of traffic management affected by weather conditions and urban planning issues across various cities.
