Traffic congestion in AD


Traffic congestion and parking problem are serious problems in Abu Dhabi. There are too many reasons which lead to these problems.

Increasing population growth in Abu Dhabi is the main reason. Too many people get cars either new or used and as we know Abu Dhabi is an island and doesn’t easily contain all these cars. Another reason is tourism which leads to the use of more taxis. Most taxi drivers are new and don’t have enough experience so they cause traffic congestion. New construction in Abu Dhabi is also a reason for traffic congestion. There are a lot of trucks and vans working inside Abu Dhabi. The last reason to be mentioned is the summer climate. It is too hot in the UAE during the summer so people can’t walk from one place to another. They should use cars to avoid the hot weather.

We can avoid these problems by finding solutions for it. Making overpasses and underpasses is a good solution to decrease traffic jams. Construct a metro will help a lot to get rid of these problems like what happened in Dubai last year. Underground parking is another solution to avoid these problems. The last solution is to relocate government departments and colleges and move them outside Abu Dhabi Island.

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.
