The rising levels of traffic congestion in many big cities around the world can cause the decline in the quality of life in cities. What do you think are the causes of this problem and what measures could be taken to solve them?

Increasing

traffic

congestion

is an inescapable condition in large and growing metropolitan areas across the world. Over recent years,

this

problem

has become one of the most pressing issues because it has profoundly affected the lives of individuals especially in many big cities. The following paragraphs will examine the causes of

traffic

congestion

and recommend some practical solutions that can be taken into account. 

Traffic

is caused by many reasons. One of the major reasons is the rising

this

problem

, there are several things that the

government

could do.

Firstly

, the state

government

should provide convenient, safe and clean public transport facilities in order to encourage people to leave their cars at homes and use public transports

instead

.

Secondly

, roads and highways should be expanded to support the increasing

number

of vehicles.

In addition

could promote carpool and provide bi

and pollution.

Finally

, the

government

should develop new industrial and commercial areas outside the city so that people could move to these areas.

can help reduce the density

in metropolitan areas. In conclusion,

traffic

is mainly caused by a dramatic rise of the car users and poor public transportation. The

and public should cooperate to solve
