n major cities around the world, traffic congestion has become a serious problem. How can this problem be tackled? Give reasons and examples from your own experience

The issue of increased

vehicle

traffic

in metropolitan cities has become a grave and immediate concern.

This

might be due to various reasons ;overpopulated areas and a higher number of cars on the road being at the top of the list.Reducing the entry of people into the

city

and the number of motors on road can be ways to decrease the congestion to a great extent.

To begin

with, the increased influx of immigrants to bigger towns and easy access to private

vehicle

ownership is considered to be some of the reasons for

traffic

.Youngsters from various parts of the country would prefer relocating to a

city

rather than their native village,due to the lucrative pay and decent standard of living.

For example

,there is a daily influx of 10,000 people in Mumbai

city

despite its small area because of the attractive opportunity provided by the Bollywood headquarters ,leading to one of the heaviest

traffic

witnessed on their

roads

.

Furthermore

,India is one of the countries which provides a seamless procedure to acquire and own a personal

vehicle

,thereby increasing the density of motor mobility on

roads

.

For instance

,some countries like Singapore ,charge a heavy fee to own a private

vehicle

in order to reduce their

movement

. To address the above issues,several steps can be undertaken to reduce the overall

traffic

in metros,namely regulating the immigration from different states and limiting the

movement

on the

roads

.

Although

monitoring of

movement

of the population in and out of a state or a

city

may be a mammoth task, providing franchisees of various job sectors in smaller towns would be a better way to reduce overcrowding.Adding on to that,different time slots for cars to move on the

roads

can reduce the congestion to a greater extent.

For example

,Delhi

city

has proposed a novel idea of

movement

of odd and even-numbered cars on alternate days,reducing the

traffic

to almost half. To conclude,many cities face the problem of increased motor

traffic

,due to their immensely populated areas and their straightforward approach to

vehicle

acquisition.They can be addressed by certain actions aimed at regulating the staggered entry of individuals and limiting the transit of vehicles on the road.
