In urban centres around the world, a great deal of time is wasted daily due to transportation jams.

This

is a serious issue because it affects people’s livelihoods and mental health.

This

essay will consider the main causes of traffic congestion, before proposing two possible solutions. The most important cause of traffic problems in cities is a lack of public transport. With few alternatives, many people choose to travel by car, as it is quicker and more convenient.

As a result

, traffic jams occur, particularly on popular routes

such

as main roads. Another key factor is uniform working hours across the city. The majority of people start and finish work or school at a similar time.

This

means that road becomes extremely congested at certain times of day,

for instance

, at “rush hour” in the morning and evening. Fortunately,

however

, there are two promising solutions to

this

problem.

First

of all, local governments should invest more in public transportation.

This

would make

this

option more attractive and reduce the number of cars on the road.

For example

, in my hometown , the council has created a network of cycle paths which encourage people to cycle to work.

Secondly

, the

goverment

the organization that is the governing authority of a political unit

government

could introduce different working hours for schools and public facilities, which would

further

cut down the number of commuters travelling at particular times. In conclusion, congestion is a serious problem which is primarily caused by limited public transportation options, along with the shared working schedule of many urban dwellers. I recommend that governments address

this

issue by investing in public transport infrastructure, and implementing varied working hours in public facilities.

In contemporary society, laws are the foundation of communities that everyone has to follow. It is clear that if some nations do not have rules, these nations will have many causes such as crime, violence, and cheating. Therefore, if people were free to act in something that they want to do. it could lack discipline because society is based on rules. In my view, I strongly agree with this issue and this essay will explore my opinion which is provided.
