Traffic congestion and parking problem in AD

Abu Dhabi is the capital of the UAE, and it has a problem in traffic congestion and parking. I will explain the causes and the solutions of this problem.

The main cause is the population has increased. This is the first cause for traffic and parking problems. Not all people have a car, but in Abu Dhabi every home has more than one car. The second cause is economic development. There are more commercial vehicles .Also, the weather in summer is not helping people to use the cycles for transport. Finally, parking is the big cause of traffic congestion. There are not enough parking spaces for people to park their cars.

On the other hand, the solutions for these problems are as follows. Make sure each building has adequate parking. Each apartment should have parking. Also, improving public transport will help the government to solve the problem. For example increase the number of buses or build a metro to decrease the number of car users. One solution is to raise the age of license holders. In Abu Dhabi most accidents involve young people aged 18 to 24. Finally, the last solution is to improve the existing road system. Like build more bridges, overpasses and underpasses.

In conclusion, the main problem is the parking. And the best solution is to build the parking buildings. Also, improve the public transport like raise the number of buses and build a metro, but I think a metro will cost more and buses are the best idea to solvethe problems.
