Keep Dhaka’s Footpaths Clean 

Safe and Free: Everyone Has a Responsibility

Dhaka is a busy, rapidly growing city where millions of people travel every day. Footpaths are an essential part of the city's transportation system, providing a safe space for people to walk. Unfortunately, many footpaths are occupied by shops, construction materials, parked vehicles, waste, and other obstacles. As a result, pedestrians are often forced to walk on busy roads, creating serious risks of accidents and traffic congestion.

Keeping Dhaka's footpaths clean, safe, and accessible is not the government's responsibility alone. Everyone has an important role to play.

 Instructions for Everyone

1. Do not throw waste on footpaths
Pedestrians and shopkeepers should use designated waste bins and never throw plastic, food waste, or other rubbish onto the sidewalk.

2. Keep footpaths free from illegal occupation
Footpaths should remain available for pedestrians. Shops, restaurants and businesses should not permanently occupy walking spaces with goods, tables, chairs or other materials.

3. Do not park vehicles on footpaths
Motorcycles, cars, vans, and other vehicles should be parked only in designated areas. Footpaths are meant for walking, not parking.

4. Keep construction materials away from pedestrian areas
Bricks, sand, rods, and other construction materials should not be placed on footpaths without proper safety arrangements and permission.

5. Protect trees and public facilities

Street trees, benches, lights, railings, and other public facilities should not be damaged or misused.

6. Give priority to elderly people and people with disabilities
Footpaths should be convenient for children, elderly citizens, and people with disabilities. Ramps and accessible pathways should always be kept clear.

7. Follow traffic and pedestrian rules
Pedestrians should use designated crossings where available and remain alert while crossing roads. Drivers and motorcyclists must respect pedestrian rights and avoid driving on sidewalks.

8. City authorities must ensure regular monitoring

The city corporations and relevant authorities should regularly clean, repair, and inspect footpaths. Where necessary, appropriate enforcement should be carried out fairly and consistently.

Public Awareness Is Essential

A clean city cannot be created through government action alone. Citizens' awareness, discipline and cooperation are equally important. Shop owners should keep the area in front of their businesses clean. Pedestrians should avoid littering. Drivers should respect pedestrian spaces. Authorities should maintain the infrastructure and enforce the rules.
