Traffic congestion
Traffic congestion has become a phenomenon and is one of the most
serious problems affecting the UAE community. There are many
negative aspects of this congestion on the individual and on society.
One of the causes of the problem of traffic congestion is the
presence of government ministries in the capital - Abu Dhabi -
especially in the diplomatic area and this leads to the scramble of
cars in the streets and roundabouts surrounding these bodies, which
impedes the flow of traffic. Some argue that increased population
density and the survival of an old network of roads and bridges
should lead to the emergence of a lot of problems, first and foremost
the problem of traffic congestion. The general opinion is that
roundabouts should be replaced by signal lights. Today there are a
lot of people who do not understand the rules and make the habitual mistakes. For example, they climb the sidewalks and go in the opposite
direction of the people and some people who drive without the seat belt fastened. There are also some young people who do some reckless moves and that causes accidents. Also
we usually get congestion at 7:30 in the morning because a lot of people
must go to work and when they come back from work at
Public transport buses
There are many causes of traffic congestion but the main reason is
the focus of government ministries and agencies in the capital
especially the diplomatic area and the resulting overcrowding of the
cars around. In my opinion public transport buses have a significant
role in the creation of bottlenecks especially when they stop on the
highway to pick up individuals or to offload them thus impeding the
traffic. The growing popularity of the buses has proved a great
success. Some roads are closed because of repair work. The biggest
problem in my view is the bad behavior especially by young people
who resort to parking on the sidewalk. This bad behavior is
not just in this country , it’s in 75% of countries in the world.

Truck congestion
There are many causes of truck congestion and this causes a lot of
accidents. The important one is that trucks , when they deliver some
goods from the United Arab Emirates to Saudi Arabia and near the
border , cause congestion and they take weeks to arrive there ; also in
the night when they go to the border there are some small holes in
the street and that causes accidents and maybe kills the driver.
Conclusion
Finally, we should take care and don’t be reckless in
driving because that behavior can kill a lot of people ; its not their fault ;
also we need to pay attention when we drive in the street
and we should advise the reckless drivers to be good drivers.
There are 4 causes of congestion.
1. Failure to comply with the streets signs.
2. Closure of many roads and streets.
3. Parking at the intersection of streets.
4. Some vendors using sidewalks to sell some goods.
And there are 4 solutions to the problem.
