#cities #towns #world #volume #traffic #actions
It is widely known that immense
vehicles
 on the
roads
, particularly in huge and prominent
cities
, causing various problems afterwards
such
 as air pollution, disturbing noise to households, and accidents on the
roads
 have become a serious issue these days. There are abundant factors why these phenomena happen.
Therefore
, in
this
 essay, I will explain the causes
as well as
 the possible solutions for
this
 issue.
To begin
 with, as traffic congestion mostly occurs downtown, one of the reasons for
this
 occurrence is lacking
entertainment
facilities
 ,especially in the countryside and suburbs
such
 as department stores, theatres, and amusement parks. It is undeniable that some countries only have these
entertainment
facilities
 in eminent
cities
. That means whenever people in other provinces desire to go to
places
 like that they have to go to that famous town
also
 causing heavy traffic there later.
In addition
, some
cities
 have poor public transportation making citizens in that
cities
 select to drive private automobiles or motorbikes because of the convenience rather than using inferior public transport.
As a result
, there will be numerous
vehicles
 on the
roads
.
Nevertheless
,
this
 phenomenon can be resolved with the assistance of the national government. The first sensible solution is for the government must improve public transportation in order to subside the number of
vehicles
 on the
roads
. If these public transports are easily available, extensive to various
places
, and low price, most populations will choose to use them more than cars or motorbikes.
Furthermore
, the government should generate new media centres in different
places
 except for downtown.
Thus
, citizens do not have to go downtown;
instead
, they are able to find
entertainment
facilities
 in their own
cities
. In conclusion, the massive amount of
vehicles
 on the
roads
 has many causes
such
 as poor transportation
as well as
 lacking
facilities
.
However
,
this
 occurrence can be corrigible by the aiding of the national administration to improve public transport and construct more new
entertainment
facilities
 in other
places
.
