Transport Related Congestion

Transport-related congestion occurs when there are more vehicles or transportation activities in an area than the infrastructure can efficiently handle. This leads to slower movement, delays, and increased travel times on roads, railways, or other transit systems. Congestion can result from high demand during peak hours, insufficient infrastructure capacity, accidents, or bottlenecks. It impacts economic productivity, increases pollution, and reduces overall quality of life. Managing congestion involves improvements in transportation planning, infrastructure expansion, and promoting alternative travel options to balance demand and maintain smoother, more efficient transit.
