People should use two wheelers more than four wheelers. Use 4 wheeler only when it is necessary and rest of the time use public transport or two wheelers , this will give roads some space and may reduce traffic congestion. The tier 2 cities where there are more two wheelers compared to 4 wheeler still have lesser roadblocks.

@Vakshu Try to take homes near offices that would reduce traffic.

Same problem here in the Philippines. My daily travel to work which is only an hour and a half is now doubled. I need to wake up early and travel before 5am just to get to the office in time for my 8am work. Traffic is more stressing than my work. Some of the public officials here in the Philippines proposed the use of mass transportation instead of private vehicles. I dont know if this will be implemented soon but I think it can lessen the traffic even a bit.
