Abu Dhabi traffic congestion and parking problem

Nowadays most large cities around the world like Abu Dhabi suffer from traffic congestion and parking problems.

There are many reasons why we suffer traffic jams every day. One of these is the rapid growth of the population. As a result of this, the number of cars is increasing annually. A further point is that there are younger drivers today than in the past. The increase in the number of trucks and commercial vehicles also causes traffic congestion. These vehicles move very slowly, sometimes stopping to unload goods, and blocking traffic. Road works are a final major problem that can lead to streets being very crowded. 


Traffic congestion also has many effects. One of the most important is parking problems. People find it difficult to park their cars, especially in the city center.  There are also more accidents, because people become frustrated or angry due to the traffic jams. Finally, pollution in the city center worsens as a result of car emissions, and the city becomes a less attractive place to live. Shops are forced to close in the city center and have to relocate to malls or to the outskirts of the city, where parking is available. 

 There are many solutions for these problems,The first solution the government must do is some maintenance to enlarge roads. Second solution they have to build bridges between Abu Dhabi and other Emirates.The last solution is to expand the train all over the principality.

In conclusion, although Abu Dhabi has good roads and modern infrastructure, it is suffering from traffic problems. There is no simple solution to this problem because it has many causes, but the effects are damaging both the city and the people who live there. The government should try to remedy this problem.
