Increasing the price of petrol is the best way to solve growing traffic and pollution problems. To what extent do you agree or disagree? What other measures do you think might be effective?

Wide range of growth in

traffic

and

pollution

now being the central concern of every metro politician cities. People often consider that the increase in petrol pricing will solve

this

harsh situation.

However

,

this

is not an effective way of controlling

pollution

problems. There are some other ways like increase in car-sharing or good

traffic

rules through which

traffic

problems can solve. A few observation often consider that the urbanization of people creates a devastating effect on

traffic

and

pollution

issues. Millions of people are travelling every day because of their personal and professional work, which heightened the concentration of carbon regularly. By considering

this

option, authorities should begin the new rule of carpooling and aware of the people with

this

system. Nowadays there are many apps like quick ride which help people to know about the person who is travelling through the same route and help them to drop nearby. If more people will use

this

system,

then

the need for individual car reduced.

Also

, they can apply the odd-even rule on private cars like in Delhi, the chief minister started

this

rule for a few weeks, and it shows the excellent improvement in environment condition.

Moreover

, the government should apply the strict laws on

traffic

rules; there are plenty of people who know the rules but do not follow them because of

this

traffic

jams are increasing rapidly.

For example

, in India, people did not follow the

traffic

light rules, even after seen the red light, they did not stop and create a hassle on the road.

However

, enhancing the petrol prices is not the solution to these issues as many workers travel for their jobs, they can not afford these high prices, which affect their basic needs.

Instead

, authorities should encourage the people for using environmentally friendly vehicles like CNG vehicles.

Additionally

, controlling the

traffic

issue could not only diminish the increase in

pollution

. People have to stop the cutting of unnecessarily and grow new plants.

Also

, building the eco- friendly cities using solar power or hydro-power.

Traffic

and

Pollution

problems lead to several difficulties for cities to resolve, but smart planning along with implementing out of the box solutions could alleviate the pain associated with

this

growth.
