Traffic jam is almost a regular phenomenon in the big cities and towns.
The population is increasing rapidly and the number of vehicles is also
increasing for the movement and transport of the people. The narrowness of the
roads, unlicensed and uncontrolled vehicles, reluctance to obey the traffic
rules by the drivers, overtaking tendencies etc. are some of the main causes of
traffic jam. It wastes our valuable time. It hampers our work. It causes great
sufferings to the dying patients being carried in an ambulance. It blocks the movements
of fire-brigade vehicles. It makes us helpless in emergency need of movement.
Traffic rules should be enforced strictly so that the drivers are bound to obey
them. Training programmes for the drivers can be arranged to make them aware of
the traffic rules. These are some of the ways how traffic jam can be
controlled.
