These days, traffic congestion has been receiving a great deal of attention in numerous metropolises.

This essay will present some

problems related to this before giving some workable solutions.
There are some problems arising from traffic jams in major cities. Firstly, since lines of vehicles stop behind the wheels during rush
hours, drivers are likely to suffer from a great deal of pollution. The amount of carbon dioxide emitted from these vehicles, at a
cumulative amount, is expected to lead to some respiratory, cardiovascular diseases causing degraded health for drivers. Secondly,
when being stuck in traffic jams, majority of drivers have a penchant for stress and depression. According to a report of Health
Association, most of HCM city citizens confront traffic congestion at least 3 times a day and spend more than 4 hours being stuck
behind the wheel, which drives them crazy and lower work productivity as well as makes them lose a lot of chances.
Nevertheless, this situation can be remedied, provided that some reasonable steps are taken. First, in order to solve gridlocks, we are
able to use bilateral control. This means maintaining space among cars, which results in mitigating traffic problems. This can be
implemented with radars informing drivers about reasonable space, acceleration, braking and so on. Second, if public transportation
system was upgraded and encouraged, the traffic congestion would be solved. For instance, in London, the underground, train, bus
systems are always on time, available and affordable. This makes road users prefer commuting by public transportation to driving
their private cars that are prohibitively expensive.
To recapitulate, although this issue can exert the above detrimental effects, the feasible solutions should be implemented to address it.
