Today, the population in urban areas has increased significantly. That is the main reason for traffic congestion at peak times and air pollution from fuel consumption. These problems have many effects on residents’ lives and the country’s development. Although there are many impacts, there are also solutions for them.
On the one hand, the effects of vehicle congestion are inevitable. Problems from transportation are one of the main causes of stress. Many residents on the road make noise from their arguing, honking their horns, creating an annoyed atmosphere to others and making them burnt out before doing their jobs. Working under stress makes employees make mistakes and reduces productivity. If this continues for a long time, employees will lose their jobs and the industry might collapse. Besides stress, vehicle congestion is the biggest reason for air pollution in urban areas. Fuel consumption from vehicles produces smoke, which causes lung problems if people inhale it every day. Lung problems cost a large fee to cure, which is a financial burden to their family and governments.
On the other hand, there are some solutions for car congestion and air pollution. The government can improve the road quality to avoid congestion. Adding more policies at crossroads during peak times and expanding roads for more vehicles. In addition, building more ways for residents helps them have more choices to go to the same destination. To prevent air pollution, presidents can plant more trees on the sides of roads. The plants help absorb carbon dioxide and create more oxygen, which humans need. Residents can also use electric vehicles or public transport to reduce air pollution and congestion at peak times.
In conclusion, traffic congestion and air pollution have many effects on residents’ quality of life and the development of the country. However, there are some solutions to avoid those negative effects.
