Car ownership has increased so rapidly over the past thirty years that many cities in the world are crippled by gridlocked traffic. What are the possible solutions for these cities?

Commuting by means of private vehicles has boomed over the past three decades which result in intense

traffic

congestion in urban areas.

This

essay intends to provide some remedies to reduce

this

problem. One of the main solutions to minimize the

traffic

in cities is to increase the taxes on cars when they entering in cities which will automatically reduce the numbers since it would be more expensive to travel by car. It will lead to the use of public transportation by the masses so that they can save money.

For example

, In some foreign countries, taxes are already applied to use private transportation and there is less number of cars on the

roads

. In order to do that government should

also

improve the conditions of public transportation so that people would prefer to use them in comparison with personal transit. Another remedial measure could be taken by the government to decline

this

issue and

that is

to improve road infrastructures.

In other words

, the

roads

should be widened or there should be new underground

roads

where

roads

could not widen. In

this

way, there would be more space for vehicles to run down and

consequently

,

traffic

would be reduced.

For instance

, in developed nations

such

as America and Australia,

traffic

is controlled by making new underground pathways for transport.

Thus

, government investment is needed to tackle

this

issue. In conclusion, increased car ownership makes the urban areas cramped places which could be reduced by applying city entry charges on private means and improving road infrastructures by higher officials.
