Traffic solutions


Traffic has generally been a problem among all countries for sometime now. It is always in leaders agenda that needs to get improved and rules are implemented just to reduce this dilemma. Normally, it would be your lucky day if you did not encounter traffic. You have a reason to smile the entire day just because you have started the day in a good mood. Traffic can either be consisted pf vehicular, pedestrian or even when using other public modes of transportation.

Laws are being implemented and developed over time to facilitate orderliness and timely flow of this kind of problem. If you are a motorist there are general rules applied when driving. Road users need to give special importance and are required to follow these traffic solutions.

Here are some good traffic solutions that a concerned citizen should follow. These are:

• Find a carpool partner, vanpool, bus, or School Pool family
• Walk if your destination is quite close which also helps you lessen transportation cost such as gas, parking fees, etc.
• Encourage use of bikes which at the same time is environmentally friendly, healthy and less transportation cost also
• Use public transport such as taxis, buses, and subways.
• Telecommuting is an option
• Following proper road signs, traffic lights, and speed limits when driving


Some bad traffic solutions are:

• Sometimes roads don’t have marked lanes, so the drivers frequently overtake other cars vehicles which end up in road accidents.
• traffic jam are sometimes a result of intersections having no signs especially if four vehicles face each other side-on.
• Too many pedestrian crossings.
• One way streets which speeds up traffic flow but actually doesn’t work because it causes stationary traffic.
