Causes
Consequences
Positive
Negative
Wasting time
Delay
Wasted fuel → air pollution
Road rage
Reduce road speeds → less road accidents
Solutions
• Adding more capacity to bottlenecks:• Improve
junctions.• Build more
bridges or by-passes.
• Creating new routes.
• Widening roads.
Increasing supply
• Parking restrictions
• Road pricing or regulation at certain:• Times• Congestion
levels• Type of vehicles• Areas
• Carpooling
Reducing demand
• Traffic congestion detector
• Traffic reporting (radio, GPS, mobile apps)
• Variable message signs in roads to advise users.
