Increasıng the price of petrol is the best way to solve growing traffic and pollution problems. To what extend do you agree or disagree? What other measures do you think might be effective?

According to
some people, The best way to mitigate the booming
traffic
and
pollution
problem is by raising the
price
of
petrol
.
According to
them, It will decrease the number of
vehicles
and
as a result
, It will reduce
traffic
and
pollution
.
However
, In my opinion, I cannot but disagree with
this
opinion since
this
can in no way contribute to
traffic
and
pollution
as we must seek a solution rather than completely remove the problem. I will discuss effective ways
such
as strict
traffic
rules
and increasing taxes on cars.
To begin
with, By increasing the
petrol
price
will have little to no effect on many since personal cars are used by wealthy people and there will be little impact on them with
this
price
increase. As far as I am concerned,
traffic
and
pollution
occur because of the increasing number of private
vehicles
on the road.
For example
, In Dhaka city, the primary reason for
traffic
and
pollution
is because of the overwhelming amount of private
vehicles
on the road
according to
research done by the Bangladesh government.
Additionally
,
This
price
increase will directly affect the middle class and poor people which is not a good thing for a country's economy.
Therefore
, I believe the idea of raising the
petrol
price
is not an ideal solution.
On the other hand
, The implementation of strict
traffic
rules
is one of the suitable measures to solve
this
issue. If
traffic
rules
strictly adhere to,
then
the
pollution
and
traffic
issues will automatically fall.
Secondly
, Raising the tax on the purchase of private cars and other
vehicles
will have a direct effect on the sales of these
vehicles
. As a matter of fact,
this
will reduce these on the roads which means

therefore

and

will gradually go down.
