Increasing the peice 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?

At the present time, there is an idea that if we increase the

price

of

petrol

then

we can resolve

traffic

and

pollution

. In my view,

this

approach is too naive and I do not believe that it could be effective. In

this

essay, the main reason for my opinion and another viable solution will be discussed.

To begin

with, increasing the

price

of

petrol

will not stop people to use their

vehicles

and

therefore

it can not solve

this

problem. To illustrate

this

, so much fluctuation can be seen in the

price

of fuels in countries

such

as Iran, but it did not affect the number of

vehicles

used in these countries during rush hours.

Furthermore

,

petrol

is a fuel

that is

used in many things other than cars that people tend to use on a daily basis.

Consequently

, if the value of

petrol

starts moving up it will not have a significant effect on

traffic

and

pollution

.

Lastly

, the best way to resolve

traffic

and

pollution

is to push the government for regulations and legislation to help

this

matter. Taking China ,

for example

, the government commissioned car industries to upgrade electric cars so that by 2030 more than 20 per cent of cars in China would work with batteries and

also

they would be autonomous.

this

policy in China will have numerous positive effects on the climate like clean air.

Moreover

, recent studies have shown that autonomous

vehicles

can help reduce

traffic

in major cities.

Thus

, governments can solve

traffic

and

pollution

by pushing the relevant industries to focus more on electric

vehicles

that are autonomous. To conclude, there is a notion that the

traffic

will be solved by increasing the

price

of

petrol

. In my opinion, the value of fuel is not relevant to the matter so

this

solution will not work. Given the current circumstances, It is recommended to try to push authorities to investigate the issue at hand.
