Increasing the price of petrol is the best way to solve growing ttaffic and pollution problems. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

The rising levels of

traffic

and

pollution

can be controlled by enhancing the petroleum cost. I completely agree with

this

statement, because high

price

directly affects the product

demand

and

this

will

also

have a knock-on effect on other products,

thus

can lower gasoline consumption due to shortage of money.

Firstly

, the increase in petrol

price

will follow the law of

demand

.

This

is to say, according to law the higher the

price

of a product the lower will be its

demand

and vice versa.

Hence

the surge in prices will ensure that, people buy less fuel for their vehicles.

This

will make sure that lesser lorries on roads, which will solve high

traffic

issues.

For example

, in the Pakistan due to high petroleum prices, the country has witnessed a decline in road

traffic

. The other outcome of high gasoline

price

is that, the rates of other commodities will jump up.

This

can happen as petrol is used in trucks, for the supply of products to the market. If people have to pay extra amount for basic necessities, they will be left with little amount to run their homes.

As a result

, they would not use their conveyance for travel, which will reduce

pollution

on the roads.

For instance

, according to the UK finance department data, the petroleum rates and inflation are directly proportional to each other. To conclude, the high volume of

traffic

and

pollution

can be managed by hiking the gas asking

price

. I totally agree with

this

stance, because it can decrease petrol

demand

and consumer purchasing ability,

therefore

can reduce

traffic

and

pollution

.
