Traffic Congestion

Traffic congestion refers to the overcrowding of vehicles on roads, leading to slower speeds and longer travel times. It often occurs in urban areas where high population density and insufficient roadway capacity clash. Factors contributing to congestion include rush hour traffic, road construction, accidents, and inadequate public transportation options. This phenomenon not only frustrates drivers but also impacts air quality and overall city efficiency. Effective urban transportation planning aims to reduce congestion through better road designs, public transit systems, and policies that promote alternative travel options.
