Traffic

congestion

has become a main concern for numerous countries around the world. There are many reasons behind

this

problem, but possible measures can be implemented to handle

this

situation. There are major reasons for

traffic

jams. The

first

and foremost behind

this

is that the number of vehicle owners has increased immensely in the past few years leading to congested streets. According to an article published in a local newspaper,

to choose private means of

transportation

over public ones.

but not least, many cities are not built with proper planning and have very narrow

roads

which obstruct

people

from commuting.

For example

, most

roads

in Tunisia are not wide enough to ease movement

traffic

jams most of the day. Certain measures can be taken in order to tackle the above. The quality of public

transportation

should be improved in order to enhance

transportation

.

In addition

to

this

, fares of government

transportation

should be lowered in order to promote it. Another solution is to build bridges, and wide

roads
