The huge mess of traffic in Riverton.

Riverton’s principal problem is that it does not exist other roads or ways to travel than a bridge,
between the residential area and the work area. This problem triggers on traffic congestion, that it
does not affect only the people who need to go from one area to another, it also affects the
environment. Some solutions to sort out this problematic have been established, which they
search the best way to figure out this kind of problem and not getting a worse result than the
problem itself.

As it mentioned before, it has been established some solution as it is build more roads and bridges
that connects this two areas, build a rail system and amplify the bridge that which is already built.
These three solutions can give a better distribution in the roads, other options to travel instead the
usual ones, a fast transportation system than going on the roads. However, they have their own
disadvantages like they are so expensive, it cost a lot of time, it generates a big damage in the
environment (By doing excavations or recollecting prime materials to build the bridges or roads),
an increasing of vehicles in the city that can get back to the initial problem.

When they build a road or a bridge, the first result that can be seen, is that the traffic congestion is
going to decrease, due to the distribution of them. Besides, in a future, people can start getting
more vehicles to travel on, by seeing that is no m more traffic than it was it, and getting back to
the initial point. Another example is the rail system; This kind of transport will be faster than going
on other means of, transportation; It will take more people at once. Although, the cost and the
time to build this is so high and it will affect the environment, by recollecting prime material or
using chemicals tools that affect it.

In summary, the principal problem of Riverton is by not having more roads or bridges that connect
the two parts of the city, it generates traffic congestion in the bridge built. Through time, solutions
have been made to sort out this problem, but this kind of solutions give us both advantages and
disadvantages. To solve this issue, it is necessary to look for solutions that helps the traffic, the
people and the environment at the same time and without doing any bad effect on them.
