Can roads be the measure of progress?
Karachi is going through Operation Roadstorms where old roads are ripped off and new roads are being built. Plus new fly-overs, overhead bridges and underpasses are being built. The status of Karachi right now is nothing different then a partially demolished city with rubble and debry is spread everywhere because of the old roads. Instead of doing this work serially where they would have replaced an old road with a new one and then building the bridge elsewhere, they have started the work in parallel which no doubt will take less time then serial one but at the same time there is more problem for the karachites because almost every road is ripped off so traffic jams are common, even the service roads are not capable of handling too much traffic.
However i was thinking that whenever any goverment in Pakistan has got power there first preference is the roads ?...Why?..I still dont have any idea why the measure of progress of a Pakistani goverment are roads. Maybe because people can see that goverment is working for their benefit?..but still the country is there where it was before building the road...I dont think roads are the measure of progress, they should start thinking about the powerty and education problem first!.
What do you think? Can roads be the measure of progress ?

A similar thing is happening in Islamabad. It's a comparatively small city, but the amount of traffic is getting horrendous. Since they can't rip out the existing roads, they're simply cutting down all the green belts and building new ones. But even if the road capacity doubles, it won't be enough to deal with the increase in traffic.
I think the theory behind road construction is that it creates more opportunities for business and trade which eventually benefits us folk. But how true is this for Pakistan is anybody's guess.
