One problem faced by almost every large city is traffic congestion. What do you think the causes are? What solutions can you suggest?

The problem of congestion has become common in almost every urban areas on the globe. In this essay possible leading factors of this issue and viable solutions will be provided.
There are some reasons why traffic jams occur in big cities. Firstly, excessive amount of cars can be found on the roads. This is because more people live in city centers than ever before. The public transport systems in most cities are so poorly-developed that dwellers tend to have private cars. This, in turn, help the population save their valuable time. Moreover, the layout of most cities is not suitable for this great amount of vehicles. It is often observed that in most urban areas traffic lights and signs are placed sufficiently where they are needed. And in some cities whether there are not enough cycle roads to manage traffic or the quality of roads is too low. I can show the capital city of my country, Tashkent, as an example as the roads in the city are not only poorly-structured but they also fail to have adequate amount of road signs.
Some constructive actions can be taken to address traffic problems inside of large cities. First solution would be increasing parking costs. According to latest surveys conducted by London University, private cars are utilized on the roads only an hour per day and most of the time they are left in parking lots. If the price of parking space per hour are escalated. This will lead residents to abandon their own cars and make them turn to public transport. To achieve this, in the first place, networks of city transport should be improved in urban areas. There is a range of ways of doing so including constructing high quality roads, providing traffic lights and signs in enough numbers, and developing infrastructures of cities by constructing cycle and wide roads.
In conclusion, while there can be some deriving factors of traffic congestion in big cities such as a great number of cars and poor layout of the cities, I believe that these challenges can be tackled by higher costs of parking and improved city transport systems.
