The Dhaka-Chattogram Highway, one of Bangladesh's busiest transport corridors, is witnessing growing traffic chaos as the unchecked movement of battery-run autorickshaws (also known as easy bikes) disrupts traffic and increases the risk of accidents. 

The situation is particularly alarming around the Kanchpur Bridge area, where autorickshaws are frequently seen driving against the flow of traffic. Wrong-way driving, reckless manoeuvres and speeding have become common sights, creating serious safety concerns for motorists and pedestrians alike.
