Question
The vehicular traffic is a major problem in metro cities. Suggest three methods to reduce traffic on roads.
Answer in Brief
Solution
Ways to reduce traffic congestion:
- Promote public transport: Increased motorization causes traffic congestion. Public transport is one of the most effective solutions to alleviate traffic congestion in urban areas. To encourage people to use public transit, it must be made more passenger-friendly. Buses should be less packed, more formal and noiseless.
- Improved infrastructure: flyovers, bypass highways and flyover bridges are being created to alleviate traffic congestion in major cities.
- Use of micromobility: Micromobility refers to compact, lightweight vehicles with speeds less than 30 km/hour. Because of their compactness, mobility and effectiveness in short-distance urban commutes, they outperform traditional modes of transportation, especially since they are insensitive to traffic congestion.
