The Cause and Effects of Traffic Jam

Purpose/Introduction

In current time, traffic jams have been found a crucial problem by every person or organizational body in every community or region. The purpose of this report and topic is to understand the major causes of traffic jams and their impacts on the people or the public. As well as to know who or what are the actual causes and what are the reasons behind that causes of traffic jams. Beyond that, the purpose is to know how these causes impact the people, their health and lives. In addition, the purpose also includes the understanding of who is involved in these problems and which bodies are there which have a part in creating these problems.

Cause No 1

In today’s busy world people are highly busy in their activities very hugely. Everyone wants to perform his or her job fast, quickly and get the results soon. For this purpose everyone who especially drivers (drivers of personal cars and public transport drivers) use to drive as fast as they can as well as to pave way for themselves in rushes (Mahmud, Khonika & Mustafizur, pp. 112). These acts of individuals result in Traffic Jams which affects people inversely.

Beyond that, one of the major cause of traffic jams is the cars manufacturers are only driven by voracious greed and only profit or earnings conscious bodies which don't have even an idea of social responsibility. As well as the government does not put any effort to control licensing of vehicles while the reality is that required space is too limited. However, sales of vehicles are continuously increasing without considering its impact on the traffic (Gunawardena & Lawrence, pp. 46-51). As well as the sales of vehicles have not been considered as to save the health of public, transport food and make people live comfortable but it has been taken into action only for the purpose to make revenues. So, in this way, a huge increase in sales of vehicles become a major cause of traffic jams which is a huge problem in the current time.

Cause No 2

The most crucial and highly noticeable cause of traffic jams is the failure of government and other private bodies to manage parking space. As well as the governments allow licensing even to each and every driver without having enough parking spaces as well as no step towards to the space management regarding car parking (Bedi et.al, n.p). Beyond that, the government also allow illegal spaces for parking.

In addition to the issue, illegal structuring has also been built by private bodies or companies for their parking especially in commercial areas while most of the governments do not take the step to solve the problem. So this limited space and the huge amount of vehicles is becoming the cause of traffic jams and this problem is increasing with extra pace which affects the health of public like covering footpath, and jogging areas, etc (Aridor & Lisa, pp. 836-851).

Cause No 3

Time management cannot be ignored when discussing the major causes of traffic jams. Lack of time management regarding traffic is a huge cause of traffic jams in the current time. This means that the timing of schools, colleges and universities are not specified. The timings of schools, colleges and universities are the times (morning and evening) in which the traffic on roads gets increased with a huge amount as well as office timings of government organizations and employees. So lack of management of these timings leads to traffic jams. This cause also enhances with huge pace because of the increase in educational institutions (Aridor & Lisa, pp. 836-851). This cause of traffic jams affects the public in terms of injuries of school children and even death.

Conclusion

It has been concluded that the problem of traffic jams in today world is because of the busyness of people. The major and highly crucial cause of traffic jams is progressive sales of vehicles with no attention towards the issue of traffic jams. Beyond that, other causes include illegal parking areas and lack of time management. As well as it has also been concluded that illegal parking areas and lack of time management have inverse effects on public lives which are; but not only effects on their health, and injuries of people in traffic jams.
