Residents of Aso community in Karu are calling on authorities to urgently fix and expand their major access road, blaming its poor state for worsening traffic, rising transport costs, and daily stress.
The road—used by commuters, traders, and schoolchildren—has become a bottleneck, riddled with potholes and too narrow for the area’s growing population. Rush hours now mean long gridlocks and delayed movement in and out of the community.
Locals say the situation is compounded by unregulated tricycles, motorcycles, and indiscriminate parking by trucks, all squeezing the already tight road space.
Many believe expanding the road to at least two lanes would ease congestion, improve safety, and boost business activities in the fast-growing area.
There are also calls for better traffic control, relocation of roadside traders, and stricter enforcement of road rules to restore order.
For residents, it’s simple: fix the road, and fix the daily struggle.
