The volume of traffic in many cities in the world today continues to expand This causes many problems, including serious air pollution, lengthy delays, and the greater risk of accidents Clearly, something must be done, but it is often difficult to persuade people to change their habits and leave their cars at home
One possible approach is to make it more expensive for people to use their cars by increasing charges for parking and bringing in tougher fines for anyone who breaks the law In addition, drivers could be required to pay for using particular routes at different times of the day This system, known as ‘road pricing’, is already being introduced in a number of cities, using a special electronic card fixed to the windscreen of the car
Another way of dealing with the problem is to provide cheap parking on the outskirts of the city, and strictly control the number of vehicles allowed into the centre Drivers and their passengers then use a special bus service for the final stage of their journey

at an acceptable level
