Kandy is geographically located as a nodal point of major road networks in Sri Lanka but is afflicted with increasing traffic congestion caused by unsystematic road networks that impedes the economic and social development of the city, the statement said.“Narrow access routes, hilly terrain and being located in an environmentally and historically sensitive area severely restrict the smooth traffic flow within the city,” it said.(COLOMBO, Dec 02, 2016)- <a href="http://www.economynext.com/Korea_Eximbank_to_develop_traffic_master_plan_for_Sri_Lanka%E2%80%99s_Kandy_city-3-6784-6.html" target="_blank">http://www.economynext.com/Korea_Eximbank_to_develop_traffic_master_plan_for_Sri_Lanka’s_Kandy_city-3-6784-6.html</a></blockquote>
