Due to different reasons ,
traffic
jam has become a leading issue in many cities around the world . even though , it getting increased , implementing new rules and modifications of the roadway system seems to be valuable in order to limit
this
. In the following essay ,
this
writer wishes to elaborate
further
on
this
topic.
To begin
with , when we consider the reasons for
this
tragic issue , the rising population and the high level of private vehicles come
first
. Unfortunately ,
this
fact is more common in urban areas rather than the local areas and it is obvious that the problem will precipitate in the near future . To correct
this
, most experts suggest implementing rules to limit private vehicle usage and promoting public transport ,since it could significantly reduce the number of vehicles on the road . To illustrate
this
, in ,Singapore there has been a high tax for using private vehicles on
roads
since 2016 and
this
has led to encouraging their public transport structure . Ultimately , they have been able to limit their
traffic
congestion by more than 50%, following implementing
this
law.
At the same time , in some countries like Sri Lanka , underdeveloped infrastructure for transport leads to increase
traffic
congestion . Since ,their poor road system , people waiting unnecessarily on
roads
and unfortunately
this
may lead to rising the number of road
traffic
accidents . To resolve
this
,I believe that we should improve the quality of
roads
in a country and, with the facilities like
traffic
light system and flyover , we can easily mitigate
this
spiralling problem.
For example
, according to Sri Lankan Central bank report in 2020 , due to Rajagiriya Flyover ,
traffic
jam has reduced by 25% compared to 2018 when it was not constructed.
In conclusion , even though the
traffic
congestion rising in main cities around the world ,by improving the quality of
roads
and implementing new laws , we can easily mitigate
this
devastating problem.
