Traffic congestion is a rising problem in the UAE, impacting daily life and the environment and economy. Two main problems contributing to traffic are the growing population and vehicle ownership, and increased environmental concerns. Solutions proposed include improving public transportation systems like investing in transit to reduce congestion and car reliance, and adopting smart traffic management technologies using AI to make traffic flow more efficiently while reducing congestion and improving sustainability.
