The only way to reduce the amount of traffic in cities today is by reducing the need for people to travel from home to work, shopping and education. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
It is true that
traffic
congestion is an inevitable problem
in most developed regions. Some people
think that only reducing the travel demand for commuters can improve the problem
. However
, I completely disagree with this
view. This
essay will further
discuss the reasons behind my viewpoint.
Although
alleviating traffic
demand is a good way to solve the problem
, I think it is not the most ideal choice. For example
, some of the blue collar
jobs which need workers to work at a fixed workplace as opposed to working from Add a hyphen
blue-collar
home
, Change the noun form
homes
such
as restaurant employees, security guard and maintenance crew. In terms of education, online teaching is widely used at present, but there are some practical curriculums that need to be taught face to face, including cookery courses, chemistry and arts. People
who go shopping are in order to relax and enjoy themselves. They usually hang out with friends or family instead
of staying at home and doing online shopping.
On the other hand
, I believe that there are other more effective methods to cope with traffic
jams. It is obvious that commuters tend to travel at the same time of day, and it causes traffic
jams during rush hour. Firstly
, governments should improve traffic
infrastructure. For instance
, parking zones should be extended and well controlled
to prevent exacerbating congestion by Add a hyphen
well-controlled
people
driving around looking for parking space. Secondly
, bus operators should enhance bus service. They can add more bus lanes, it
helps to cut down journey time when it comes at the peak time. Correct pronoun usage
which
This
development also
can increase people
's willingness to take buses and reduce the dependence on private cars.
In conclusion, admittedly, diminishing people
's need for traffic
has its benefits, but it would not be the best solution to tackle the traffic
problem
