More and more people in developing countries are purchasing cars for the first time. What problems does this cause? What do you think is a possible solution?

The
number
of people owning their first
car
has increased significantly in developing
countries
. The principal
problems
this
causes are pollution and
traffic
congestion, and the most viable solution is to restrict
car
use in downtown areas. The primary issue developing
countries
face when their citizens start to buy
cars
is increased pollution.

as a result

from industrial activities. The greater
number
of personal means of transport on the road is
also
responsible for a rise in

This
is because the road system and infrastructure in low and middle-income
countries
have not kept up with the volume of

is to ban private
