More people will result in more transport and the majority of people travel by car, this poses two problems – road congestion and pollution.…
As the population increases, the total of vehicles increases aswell. “In 1945 there were 100 cars per 1000 people, by 1970 there were almost 500 cars per 1000 people”(Forster 2004, p.17), this will cause traffic congestion within the cities. As a result of traffic congestion, pollution levels will increase. This will negatively affect peoples health and well being. Along with the inconviences of urban…

Over the past decade, the streets, highways, tunnels and bridges of New York City and the surrounding metropolitan region have become increasingly clogged with traffic. In recent years, business leaders have become increasingly concerned about the traffic congestion in Manhattan and the region. The regional public transit and commuter rail system cannot provide everyone with a reasonable alternative to car travel. As a result, traffic congestion has become a real threat to future economic growth in New York City.…
Sao Paulo is not only the largest city in Brazil but it is also one of the top countries in the world with the worst traffic. There is a population of about 18 million people with about 6.3 million cars 650,000 motor cycles, 35,000 taxis and 17,000 busses. To make things worse there are also 1,000 new cars added a day. There have been traffic jams stretching up to 293 km of traffic. Naturally, with numbers like these there is bound to be some traffic. However, there are also 19,000 trucks that pass through Sao Paulo every day. These trucks cause damage to roads and therefore, cause a chain of reaction ending in increased traffic.…
Technological advancement has positively revolutionized the transport sector. However, it has brought about diverse transport problems too. Technological advancement brought about vehicles that have increased mobility of people and goods especially in the urban regions. However, the presence of too many motor vehicles in densely populated towns such as Bristol has led to traffic congestion which has cost motorists and commuters much of their time. Usually, most of the Bristol residents rely on public transport, personal cars and motorcycles for transport. The public transport is mainly by bus network which is provided by First Group. The busses have been known to be unreliable and expensive leading to high private car usage. The high private car usage has led to traffic gridlocks. This report seeks to conduct a research on Bristol traffic congestion.…
As a result of an increased population inhabiting one area, traffic congestion is often a major issue resulting from urbanisation. In London, traffic is evidently a problem. As it would be expected from a capital city home to more than 8 million people, alongside the 30 million visitors received per year, the London road network is often under tremendous strain. Despite London’s extensive public transport facilities, many still choose to drive their own vehicles around the city. In Mumbai, the road network suffers a similar strain, unable to cope with the millions it carries each day, it suffers from increased journey times, congestion, and air pollution. In London, park and ride schemes, cycle lanes, congestion charging schemes and low emission zones have been introduced to combat the traffic. In terms of its success, an example of immediate impact was the introduction of the congestion charge, reducing the amount of traffic in the heart of the capital by about 15 per cent. However, according to TFL, the reduction has not been sustained. In Mumbai, people have tried using alternative vehicles such as mopeds and scooters, and whilst this helps them to dodge traffic jams, it has only contributed more to the poor air quality caused by emissions. Ultimately, it is clear that not all solutions are effective, but in a wealthier country like the UK, there is a much higher chance of success due to the funding fuelled into these schemes; with time, the schemes may…

Secondly, restricting people to go out from their house is not the only solution for the traffic. There are other solutions which could be considered as alternative measure. Carpooling, increasing the usage of public transportation and adjusting the travelling schedule could be practiced to lessen the traffic. The government should advance those kinds of campaigns to encourage the public.…
Transportation enables human to commute from one place to another. It makes life easier. But, when depending on vehicles to go everywhere is no longer easier due to traffic jam, is life still easier? It is absolutely not. In today’s millennium era, traffic jam is one of the growing enemies. Everyone, especially commuters, surely hates that “monster”, the “monster” that consumes time and energy. The traffic jam is mainly caused by overcrowded vehicle quantity in streets which cannot be covered by street capacity. The main concern here is not the cause but the effects of the traffic jam itself. The effects are terrible. What I personally have in mind is that traffic jam can gradually degrade life quality.…
Traffic jam is a long line of vehicles in which many vehicles get stuck in jam. It is one of the major problems of city life. It occurs in big cities and towns. There are many causes of traffic jam. The main cause of traffic jam is the narrowness of roads in proportion to the large number of vehicles. Our vehicles have increased but our roads have not increased. The numbers of unlicensed vehicles are increasing day by day. The drivers have little knowledge about traffic rules. The number of traffic police is insufficient. Parking here and there and overtaking tendency are also the cause of occurring traffic jam. It brings great suffering to us. It kills our valuable time.

The number of roads should be increased. Sufficient traffic police should be posted in important places. Traffic rules should also be…
