TRAFFIC IN OUR CITIES

The volume of traffic in many cities in the world today continues to expand.This causes many problems, including serious air pollution, lengthy delays, andthe greater risk of accidents Clearly, something must be done, but it is oftendifficult 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 theircars by increasing charges for parking and bringing in tougher fines for anyonewho breaks the law In addition, drivers could be required to pay for usingparticular routes at different times of the day This system, known as ‘roadpricing’, is already being introduced in a number of cities, using a specialelectronic card fixed to the windscreen of the car

Another way of dealing with the problem is to provide cheap parking on theoutskirts of the city, and strictly control the number of vehicles allowed intothe centre Drivers and their passengers then use a special bus service for thefinal stage of their journey

A recent investigation by scientists at the U.S Geological Survey shows that strange animal behavior might help predict future earth-quakes

Investigators found such occurrences in a ten-kilometer radius of the epicenter

of a fairly recent quake Some birds screeched and flew about wildly; dogs yelped and ran around uncontrollably

Scientists believe that animals can perceive these environmental changes

as early as several days before the mishap In 1976 after observing animal behavior, the Chinese were able to predict a devastating quake Although

hundreds of thousands of people were killed, the government was able to

evacuate millions of other people and thus keep the death toll at a lower level

A Some animals may be able to sense an approaching earthquake
