one problem faced by almost every city is traffic congestion. what do you think the cuses are? what solutions can you suggest?

One

of the main issues faced by all urban cities is traffic jams. Significant improvements in using private

vehicles

are

one

of the major reasons for

such

traffic

congestion

and the park and ride system is the most viable solution for reducing

such

congestion

. In the

last

two ,decades the number of

people

who use their own vehicle for travelling is increased.Due to not having proper public

transport

,facility many Sri Lankan intend to use their private

vehicles

as a transportation method.

Moreover

,

people

believe that by using the private

transport

method they can avoid unnecessary delays and can complete the journey as they expected.

For example

one

of my friends uses her personal vehicle for her every travelling in fact that she wants to save her time to manage her day-to-day activities. Park and Ride is the most feasible way to reduce the number of

vehicles

on roads.

However

, it is essential to provide facilities for parking areas.

In addition

,providing free-of-charge parking locations for

such

personal

vehicles

will be the most suitable method for reducing unnecessary

vehicles

on road.

Similarly

, the government should take steps to increase facilities in public

transport

and more resources should be allocated to develop public

transport

.

Consequently

,

people

will be intending to use the public

transport

system than using private

vehicles

. For ,instance authorities can study the programme introduced by Anuradapura Urban Council to reduce

congestion

in cities and town areas. In conclusion,Traffic

congestion

is

one

of the major problems faced by the

people

living in urban zones.I believe that by introducing a park and ride system, many of us can reduce time on the road for day-to-day activities.
