With increase in population of every country the traffic system are now an important issue for every nation. The number of vehicles are increasing day by day These days the traffic are very dense everywhere. This heavy traffic has mostly effected the big cities of world. This is creating problems for common peoples. They make times loss. In addition to this they also cause more pollution and energy wastage. Some people even have some health problems if they remain in heavy traffic. Now tell me that in your country is there the same situation or something else.

Have you ever been to Shanghai,china? If so, I guess you know the answer. If not, I could tell you the fact, it's too terrible... With the 2010 Expo kick off this May, more and more people will come to Shanghai, but the traffic system is too bad to undertake. For me, everyday I go to work needs walk for 15mins, then take a bus for 25mins and at last take a subway for 25mins. It cost me over one hour to go to work. Sometimes traffic jams occur i'll be late for sure. I always be annoyed by our city's traffic.

I am from China. Actually here the traffic has been improving as time goes by. There are more traffic options today. I am just not satisfied with the traffic system when it is in the big holiday like Chinese New Year, Labor Day and the National Day. As at that time people will have a longer holiday and they don't have to work. So people will choose to go home or go to have a travel. Since that, it is too difficult to buy a tickets at that time. This is what I don't like. The traffic will be quite busy during the big holidays.
I love China

No I am satisfied with the traffic system.Everywhere it looks awkward on the streets.Traffic jams and busy roads may journey horrible.No perfect planning and narrow roads make the pain severe for heavy vehicles to travel by them.Drivers have to pay full concentration while traveling on these roads.A small accident leads to traffic jams.Both the sides don't accept their faults and keep on arguing at each other.During rainy season man holes create a lot of problem.Any way now the system is changing a bit.

truth be told, the traffic system here in india is a complete headache.
there are too many vehicles, roads are narrow, you can even find illegal shops infront of roads , thus making the road narrower.
on top of that, most of the roads are not metaled and are of no use in rainy season.

Hi Sanjeevsingh,I also noticed that vehicles on the streets increased each year. There are so many taxicabs in the city and they seem to increase even if there are some restrictions in applying permit to operate. They say some rich taxicab operators "pay" their way to getting these permits and lots of other "shady deals" said to be happening.
Traffic is most heavy in the mornings where people had to rush for work or for school. They get heavy again when it is time to go home. The roads have not grown wider yet the vehicles are increasing; so, what can we expect of the traffic?

HI! I am absolutely not satisfied with the traffic system of my country. I live in Bulgaria and road here are very very bad. Even the highways are in very bad conditions, and every day here happen many accidents with many innocent victims. That what really makes me crazy is that we must pay road taxes, if we want to drive to another city, and actually we pay the government for that, that we break our cars, instead the government to pay us, that we are forced to drive on roads like these!

Mostly, but not always. I think there could have been done more to promote public transport, especially when you hear that Bergen has the worse air in Europe if the winter is cold. Less queues in and out of the bigger cities wouldn't be bad either.
I'm not very happy with my fellow drivers though, why do they have to stay in the wrong file so you can't pass them?

To be flank, i really can not be satisfied with the traffic system in my country. Aa you say, with the increase in population, the traffic is more and more crowded. You have to spend more than one hour every day to struggle to get into the bus, what is worse, many people jump the queue.
