Traffic congestion and parking problems.

Traffic congestion and parking problems are major problems which the biggest cities in the world are suffering from and no doubt Abu Dhabi is one of them.

One major cause of the traffic congestion and parking problems is the increase of the number of cars in Abu Dhabi. There are several factors for this cause such as the average number of cars in each family in Abu Dhabi which is at least two cars and the increase of young drivers every year. Another major cause is the rapid growth of the economy and because of that the numbers of tourists are increasing every year which leads to an increase in taxi cars. The fact that Abu Dhabi is an island and we can’t expand it and the increase of construction sites are also considered as major causes. The last cause is the hot weather in the city and of course no one will walk in this weather.

There are several solutions to solve 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 I think these solutions will not solve the problem even if we create public transportation and we put fines no one will use the public transportation because of the tradition of the citizens.
