In many cities around the world, traffic is a serious problem. What are the causes of this and what actions can be taken to improve the situation?

Traffic

is considered to be one of the major issues in most of the urban areas.

Although

it is stated that vehicles bring convenience to people, it is

also

argued that it is the cause of the delay to commuters.

This

essay will discuss the major causes of

road

traffic

which are, the growing population in township areas and insufficient infrastructure; and

also

discuss the possible solutions to tackle these problems.

Traffic

congestions are caused because of two things. The

first

one to point would be the growing inhabitants in the inner-city areas. As the number of people rises, the demand for motorised vehicles

also

surge. In cities like Mumbai and Delhi,

for instance

, the population has expanded way above the limit and

therefore

the roads are mostly congested which causes a hinder movement.

In addition

to

this

, because of insufficient infrastructures built by the government, the roads are being blocked

furthermore

. Poor

road

maintenance and lack of public

transport

are one of the major causes of

road

blockages in many urban areas. Despite the

traffic

congestion, there are,

however

, certain options to alleviate these problems. Investing and building a future in regional areas would help reduce the populace from the urban side of the country. Australia,

for instance

, is promoting and implementing laws to promote their rural areas so that the populations are evenly distributed which thereby, results in less traffics on the

road

.

Moreover

, improvising public

transport

is crucial. Even though the government has provided people with public

transport

, they should focus on covering the limited access areas.

This

would ensure that people are dependent on public

transport

and do not need to use personalised vehicles. In conclusion, even though

traffic

congestions may seem to be an inevitable part of modern city life, it may not be so if the public

transport

and the populace are evenly distributed. I,

however

, believe with creative thinking and proper implementation resources,

traffic

will not be a serious problem to many cities around the globe.
