The only way to reduce the amount of traffic in cities today is by reducing the need for people to travel from home for work, education or shopping. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Some people may argue that in order to prevent the current

traffic

jam we need to

limit

the travel to workplaces, schools and shops .

However

, to develop as a nation, these basic requirements of humans should be fulfilled and

on the other hand

, there are other good options for reducing

this

traffic

congestion like improving public

transport

and infrastructures of

transport

like roads .

Hence

,

this

writer is in complete disagreement with the given notion.

To begin

with , the main causes for increased

traffic

congestion in major cities are the high number of private vehicles on the road and the booming population , who travel to get their basic requirements like education , work and shopping .

Although

,we would able to

limit

the number of vehicles on the road , to guarantee a quality life and improve the living conditions of the citizens we have to facilitate the

transport

for them .

For example

, In Sri Lanka , due to the fuel shortage , the government has limited the

transport

of the country and ultimately , all sectors like business and government services have fallen down leading to the poor living conditions of the people.

On the other hand

, there are other good ways to overcome

this

problem rather than limiting the citizen's basic requirements .

for example

, we can address the other causes for increase the in

traffic

congestion like limited public

transport

and poor infrastructures like roads.

Furthermore

, by improving the quality of roads and improving the public

transport

facilities we can

limit

traffic

jams. To illustrate

this

, the Thailand government has implemented a law to reduce private vehicle use and encourage the public to use public

transport

in 2019.

As a result

, within a few ,months most of the

traffic

jam we observed in The country was reduced. In conclusion ,

although

there are few arguments to

limit

the day to day activities of the public, in order to mitigate the current

traffic

problem , there are more practical ways to control

this

instead

.

Hence

,

this

writer is in complete disagreement with the given solution.
