CAUSES OF TRAFFIC CONGESTION
Weather conditions: Depending on the
geographical location, different weather condition
will affect traffic congestion. Excessive rainfall,
flooding and infrastructure damage or road
accidents by weather conditions contribute to
traffic congestion. So, the weather is not always
directly responsible for the traffic jams but rather
the after-effects of weather events that obstruct
roads, leading to congestion.
Poor driving habits: Tailgating, aggressive driving,
speeding, and sudden lane changes can all causes
accidents and slow traffic flow. Similarly, distracted
driving, like texting while driving, can also lead to
accidents, causing congestion and backups
otherwise congestion-free road.
Potholes: potholes can damage vehicles, forcing
drivers to slow down or pull over. On top of that,
they are common culprits to congesting roadways,
causing other cars to have to navigate around
them. Potholes can also lead t accidents road
closures, slowing traffic and causing frustration.
Solutions to stop traffic
congestion
PARKING PRICING: Restricting parking
near busy intersections is one way to help
reduce traffic congestion. By reducing the
number of cars on the road.
SYNCHRONIZED TRAFFIC LIGHTS:
One way to reduce traffic congestion is to
revolutionized the way that traffic lights
are manage. By using data from sensors
and GPS devices.
ADAPTIVE TRAFFIC SIGNALS: Some
smart corridors include adaptive traffic
signals, in which signals timing changes
are automatically made depending on
actual traffic demand. Employing
advanced traffic management system
can optimize traffic flow and reduce
congestion by efficiently
coordinating traffic signals.
