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 

1:30 in the afternoon it also gets congested.

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.
