Traffic Problems in Cities
• Congestions (Severe during peak hours)
• Delays (increased travel times)
• Safety (increased no. of accidents)
• Air pollution
• Noise pollutions
• Additional consumption of fuel
• Increase of traffic in residential neighborhoods as people tend to
search for alternate routes
• Wear and tear of road surface increases due to heavy traffic
• Inadequate public transportation (serious problem for non-drivers)
• Insufficient Parking
• Lack of safe place for Loading and Unloading goods
• Emergency vehicles like ambulance or fire engines get stuck in
traffic.
• Traffic system collapse during road construction or repairs
