Traffic congestion & parking problems

When you mention any big city you must link that with traffic congestion and parking issues. Abu Dhabi is a big city so it suffers from traffic jams and parking issues. I’m going to write about the causes and solutions for it.

There is a huge increase in population, an increase in the number of citizens and foreigners. Abu Dhabi is an economic city and because of that there is an increase of commercial vehicles. The weather here in Abu Dhabi is not helping to walk or bike to work or any place. Another point, there is a lack of adequate public transport.

There are many solutions to write about. First, we must make sure any new building has adequate parking. Second, improving public transport and Abu Dhabi government has started with providing buses. The license department should raise the age of license holders. The municipality has started a new plan to improve the existing road system with bridges, overpasses and underpasses.

In conclusion, the problem with regard to greater restrictions on motorists is that many people will see them as an attack on individual liberty and no doubt they would prove unpopular, at least to begin with.
