Traffic congestion

Like many cities worldwide Abu Dhabi suffer from traffic congestion and parking problems. In this essay I will write what are the causes and the possible solutions to the problem.

Abu Dhabi traffic congestion cames from manu reasons; one of the reasons is that the population is growing rapidly compared to the past; for example the number of local citizens has doubled or tripled; also the are a lot of people who come to Abu Dhabi to work, and most of them have their own cars. Another reason is the economic develpoment in Abu Dhabi, which leads to construction works in the streets of the city center, so many roads are closed and many cars share the same streets, Also we suffer from heavy slow trucks which work in the construction areas, and all this cause huge traffic congestion. Yet another reason is that people in Abu Dhabi get richer and cars are not very expensive; also we have cheap petrol, so people usually have more than one car, and this leads to serious problems in parking, because Abu Dhabi suffer from lack of parking. Also in Abu Dhabi there are a lot of traffic accidents, which leads to overcrowding, and that because of many young drivers who dont have the experience in driving.

To overcome these problems, there are many possible solutions, one of these solutions is to develop and improve existrip roads and create bridge and tunnels to reduce the traffic congestion and expand the roads. Also to improve public transport and give it a more modren look and encourage people to use it instead of using their own cars. And the solution to lack of parking is to make it paid parking, and that was successful in many places like for example Zayed Shopping Center, also to make underground parking in all buildings in Abu Dhabi.


In conclusion, I think that the most viable solution is to improve existing roads and expand the roads, by creating bridges and underground tunnels.
