* Executive Summary:
Traffic congestion is becoming a serious problem for metropolitan cities around the world. Abu Dhabi is also one of those cities which face serious problems of traffic congestion. There are various reasons associated with it. Abu Dhabi has attracted people from all around the world due to its immense attractive investment opportunities. Due to increase in the population and increased purchasing power of the people traffic congestion has arrived as a serious problem. Because the roads which already exist are becoming short enough to accommodate such a huge traffic. This has consequences as people have to wait in long lines and have to face bumper to bumper traffic. This causes more time and fuel cost.

    As a result of an increased population inhabiting one area, traffic congestion is often a major issue resulting from urbanisation. In London, traffic is evidently a problem. As it would be expected from a capital city home to more than 8 million people, alongside the 30 million visitors received per year, the London road network is often under tremendous strain. Despite London’s extensive public transport facilities, many still choose to drive their own vehicles around the city. In Mumbai, the road network suffers a similar strain, unable to cope with the millions it carries each day, it suffers from increased journey times, congestion, and air pollution. In London, park and ride schemes, cycle lanes, congestion charging schemes and low emission zones have been introduced to combat the traffic. In terms of its success, an example of immediate impact was the introduction of the congestion charge, reducing the amount of traffic in the heart of the capital by about 15 per cent. However, according to TFL, the reduction has not been sustained. In Mumbai, people have tried using alternative vehicles such as mopeds and scooters, and whilst this helps them to dodge traffic jams, it has only contributed more to the poor air quality caused by emissions. Ultimately, it is clear that not all solutions are effective, but in a wealthier country like the UK, there is a much higher chance of success due to the funding fuelled into these schemes; with time, the schemes may…

    The most important argument of all is that World cup 2022 will be the main reasons of increasing the traffic jams. Here in Qatar there is lack of good public transportation. We don't use any of the public transportation such as bus; also we don’t have any of other transportations so that can reduce the traffic jams similar to trains or subways. As we identify that Qatar is the second smallest country in Gulf after Bahrain, after having all this amount of people traffic jams will increase and the number of accidents will be also increase. This may cause rising number of death in the future, which we all worried to happen.…

    Traffic congestion has existed since many years ago and continually remains a major problem in most cities all over the world, especially in the urban areas of developing regions. Congestion occurs when the number of vehicles using on the road is larger than the capacity of the available road space, hindering the efficient traffic situation (Dr Peter Frost, 17 April 2013). Traffic represents the sign of a dynamic economy. However, excessive congestion leads to a lot of unexpected consequences comprising environment pollution, more fuel wastage and increased monetary losses, such as more costs to the community because of longer, less predictable travel time, additional vehicles costs, heavily pollution by increased usage of low-grade fuel because of more vehicles running on the road.…
