Traffic issues

Increasing payments required for owning a car is one way to coupe with traffic jams in the sites, because it will make a car-owning less affordable, thus fewer people will use a car. However, there are another ways to mitigate the congestion in the sites, such as improving the quality of road, make some facilities for bicycles and scooters and to change working schedules for office workers in order to abolish the rush hour.

It is obvious, that if the expenses for car owning will increase, less people would drive a car, because it became unaffordable for them. If less amount of city population will drive cars, less congestion will be created. If streets will be spare from traffic, it will reduce not only traffic, but also environmental pollution issues.

However, it is not the best solution, because people are not happy with paying more for public services. For example, the problem, which creates a congestion in many countries, is poor and narrow roads,If the roads were wider and better, more vehicles could go through good roads, so less traffic jams would be exist. Another point to consider is making a separate pathway for bicycles and scooters in a city. Many people would prefer this kind of transportation, because it is not only an additional way to commute to work, but also an exercise. In addition, bicycle utilization will reduce an air pollution by fossil fuels, so it will be beneficial both an individual and society. In my opinion, another good measure in order to mitigate heavy traffic is a creation differences in working shifts for non-emergency workers. When not the vast majority of workers have to work from 9 to 5, people would commute to work in a different hours, so city might be got rid of congestion which linked with the rush hour.

To sum up, the imposition of higher tax on private vehicles, increasing the capacity of roads and highways, encouraging people to ride a bicycles and to alternate working shifts for some people can be used to tackle the menace of traffic congestion in cities.
