Traffic Congestion # Essay For IELTS

The increase in the amount of traffic is responsible for growing problems in many large cities and has resulted in traffic congestion. What are some of the measures to deal with this problem?


SAMPLE ANSWER

The growth in the quantity of traffic in most major cities has led to the problems of congestion in the peak traffic hours. This has caused increases level of stress along with some health diseases. Although the problem in itself is a major deal, with proper steps the solution can be reached.

Firstly, people must be made aware about the possible measures. For instance, every country figures out about the problems and solutions, but often they get caught up in the files and never reach the common man. Awareness that the problem can be solved, must be made among people. Secondly, sharing car among people, will lessen the number of cars, hence helping to reduce traffic. Thirdly,  if people use subways, buses and other public transport for their travel then traffic can be reduced. For example, in Singapore everybody uses public transportation. By the usage of public transportation, Singapore has no traffic problem.

Even more, it has been observed that the better the quality of roads, the lesser is the traffic. For instance, in countries like America, not only are the roads good they are even wide enough to handle the traffic. This helps in reducing congestion. Even more, government must take steps regarding it,such as increased taxes on vehicles, so that people buy it when they need it.

Overall, in my opinion, a problem can only be solved by joint efforts and therefore, to solve this issue we as individuals need to join hands with government, to ensure better driving experience.
