🧠 Problem Title: The Interneck Bottleneck: Traffic Problems Caused by Unplanned Junctions Between Old and Modern Road Networks
📝 Problem Description

Cities and towns expand over long periods of time, often resulting in roads built during different eras being connected together without uniform planning. However, it is often observed that some junctions and intersections are unable to handle present-day traffic conditions efficiently.
In many situations, narrow old roads directly connect with wider modern roads, flyovers, or high-traffic routes. Such mismatched road structures may create congestion, sudden merging points, confusion for drivers, and inefficient traffic movement.
I have observed intersections where roads of different widths, layouts, and traffic capacities meet in an unorganized manner, leading to traffic slowdowns and overcrowding during peak hours. Rapid urban growth without synchronized infrastructure planning may increase pressure on these areas.
This problem highlights the gap between historical road development and modern transportation demands. Better traffic planning and scientifically designed junction systems are important for safer and smoother urban mobility.
