In most cities and towns, the high volumes of road traffic become a problem. What are the causes of that and what actions could be taken to solve the problem?
正确答案：
In some major cities in my country, China, heavy traffic becomes increasingly
problematic to commuters. This situation can be due to the fast pace of urban
development.
The migration policy in China leads rural peasants to big cities. Also the
convenient modern facilities and business opportunities in urban areas attract
young generation in smaller towns seeking a reasonable career. While cities are
expanding, the travellers have to cover further distance than they used to.
Unluckily the public transport system built years ago is not well functioning.
It is at this point that car purchase sounds reasonable. On top of this, the
political will of enhancing economy should be responsible for various urban
issues including traffic congestion. In order to stimulate domestic consumption,
the public are encouraged to own their private cars, but in metropolises with
dense population, such lifestyle is hard to be sufficiently supported.
To deal with traffic issue, some actions can be taken. Firstly, satellite
cities can be a pragmatic approach to decentralize urban resource, thereby
reducing urban population density. These satellite cities featuring
self-sufficient can largely reduce daily travel if people are encouraged to live
near their workplace or their school. Exclusive avenues for cycling can be set
so that short-distance travellers would like to choose riding a bike instead of
squeezing in a bus.
Public transport should be improved in terms of route, timing,
comfortableness and service courtesy so as to encourage commuters to take. The
larger capacity of public vehicles compared with private cars can effectively
ease the traffic pressure on city roads.
In contrast, private cars should be discouraged from using for short distance
travel. The approaches include charging a high parking fee, more expensive
petrol or restricting in driving days.
