In some cities all over the world traffic is a big issue. What are the causes and what decision could be taken to counterbalance the phenomenon?

Is there anyone who is not stuck in

traffic

?

Traffic

congestion

has become a significant problem in developed downtowns. While lack of parking areas and proper

transportation

system cause slow down the

traffic

flow, encouraging companies, which offer high-tech for urban

transportation

, can make roads useful. What strikes one

first

about roads is that they are occupied by

cars

which transport only one person.

This

means that 80% of

cars

' seats are empty. No one would dispute that there is no system for

transportation

that forces to people use

cars

together.

Thus

, the number of

cars

on the roads skyrockets. Another contributing factor is none other than parking slots. Notably, town residents park their

cars

on the waysides, as the buildings do not have enough space for

cars

.

Also

, they occupy parking spaces. To illustrate

this

point, In Istanbul, many skyscrapers obstruct the construction of the necessary multistorey car parks, for

this

reason,

congestion

is inevitable.

Hence

, construction of the buildings which ignore vehicles is the principal reason for

congestion

. The method of dealing with

traffic

is that local management can increase mobility by supporting the vehicle-sharing model which enables drivers to use the same car at different times. Not only does it enable decreasing the number of

cars

, but it

also

creates new spaces for parking. It is exemplified by a company called Marti-Tech, which aims to provide sharable

cars

so that unnecessary usage of the car can be reduced.

Also

, they are planning to create their own underground parking system.

Consequently

, new innovative startups and local management should work together to solve

transportation

problems. In conclusion,

traffic

which has several reasons is a most striking issue in crowded cities. Cooperation between cutting-edge technology manufacturers and municipalities can clear the way for new means of

transportation

, which can solve

this

traffic

congestion

.
