The vocabulary is adequate and relevant to the topic. 'Traffic congestion' and 'topical problem' are appropriate. However, the vocabulary could be more precise and varied.

A minor correction is needed: 'going to be the topical problem' should be 'is the main problem'. Overall, the grammatical accuracy is strong.
