Risky Dhaka streets

A pedestrian tries to cross road at Topkhana Road through a tiny gap between two buses.

Buses keep no gap with the next vehicle as they drive down Dhaka city roads, risking lives of passengers and pedestrians at Farmgate on 5 April.

Buses stop randomly to drop and pick up passengers at Shahbagh.

A driver`s assistant hangs from the bus doorway in front of the Institution of Engineers, Bangladesh.

A rickshaw goes through the VIP road Shahbagh intersection.

A woman risks her life, talking on her cell phone as she walks through the busy Topkhana Road.

Instead of using the foot-over bridge, pedestrians cross the street through fast-moving traffic in Dhaka city`s Topkhana Road
