Traffic congestion and parking problem in Abu Dhabi

Nowadays, Abu Dhabi is suffering from traffic congestion and parking problems. The government wants to solve this problem. In this essay I will show you the causes of this problem and give you some solutions for it.

One of the main reasons for this problem is the increase of the population in Abu Dhabi. An additional problem is the climate in Abu Dhabi. People often use cars rather than walking because it’s too hot; also the fog during the morning causes low visibility on the road and it’s very possible to cause a traffic jam and accident. Another issue is the construction of new buildings can cause congestion due to the trucks in the town. Another factor is that the number of women driving cars has increased as well as younger drivers.

There are several solutions to this problem. One solution is to create a modern public transportation which connects all parts of Abu Dhabi with each other like metro and bus stations. Another solution is we can put huge fines on the person who has more than one car. Yet another solution is that we can relocate the major places outside Abu Dhabi such as the ministries, universities and colleges.

In conclusion, the best solution is to use a metro. This will solve both problems, traffic congestion and parking problems. In my opinion relocating government departments and colleges is a good solution but it will cost too much. I hope that traffic congestion will disappear in the near future.
