Some say that due to heavy traffic governments need to build more roads in metropolitan cities, while others argue this isn’t the right solution. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Give your reasons and examples.

Packed roads with vehicles is a common view in bigger cities. This is an issue which needs to be addressed immediately to tackle the suffering of commuters. I believe that construction of new roads would not be the accurate decision to solve this problem. This view will be supported with following reasons.

Firstly, limited availability of lands in major cities is a hindrance to develop new roads. For instance, Mumbai, the financial capital of India, is badly affected with overcrowded roads. However, constructing new roads would need to destroy many buildings to find the space. Unfortunately, such moves will create social conflicts as many residents become affected. From this, it is clear that construction of new roads is something difficult to follow in metro cities.

Secondly, improvement in public transport is a better alternate way to minimize the traffic jams on the roads than building new roads. For example, in order to tackle the heavy traffic on roads, New Delhi government widened the metro transit system across the city. Amazingly, studies reported fifty percent reduction of vehicles on New Delhi’s roads. Thus, it is evident that improved public transport services can minimize the road traffic effectively. So, new roads are not necessary to cut down the traffic.

To conclude, while unavailability of land is a hurdle for the development of new roads in main cities, better public transport systems is helpful to bring down the traffic on current roads. From this it is obvious that why the concept of new roads for metro cities to reduce the traffic is not welcomed.

Q,
Some say that due to heavy traffic governments need to build more roads in metropolitan cities, while others argue this isn’t the right solution. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Give your reasons and examples.

I believe that adding more roads would not be effective to solve this problem. This view will be supported with following reasons.

Firstly, it is not easy as it sounds because the limited availability of land in urban area means the development of new roads always faces resistance.

Secondly, an improvement in public transport is a far better way to reduce traffic congestion seen on the road than building more car lanes.

To conclude, while the scarcity of accessible land is hurdling the development of new roads in a metro city , bettering public transport systems is viewed the help we need to make the traffic flow.

Some say that due to heavy traffic governments need to build more roads in metropolitan cities, while others argue this isn’t the right solution. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Give your reasons and examples.

Packed roads with vehicles is a common view in bigger cities. (<-- Reword to: Roads packed with vehicles is a common sight in bigger cities.) This is an issue which needs to be addressed immediately to tackle the suffering of commuters. (<-- Is this the only reason for addressing the issue? what about the environment?) I believe that construction of new roads would not be the accurate decision to solve this problem. (<-- Reword to: I believe that simply building more roads will not alleviate the problem.) This view will be supported with following reasons.

Firstly, limited availability of land in major cities is a hindrance to developing new roads. For instance, Mumbai, the financial capital of India, is badly affected with overcrowded roads. However, constructing new roads would require the destruction of many buildings to find the space. Unfortunately, such moves will create social conflicts as many residents would be affected. From this, it is clear that construction of new roads is something difficult to follow in metro cities.

Secondly, improvement in public transport is a better way to minimize the traffic jams on the roads than building new roads. For example, in order to tackle the heavy traffic on roads, the New Delhi government widened the metro transit system across the city. Amazingly, studies reported a fifty percent reduction of vehicles on New Delhi’s roads. Thus, it is evident that improved public transport services can minimize road traffic effectively. So, new roads are not necessary to cut down traffic congestion.

To conclude, while unavailability of land is a hurdle for the development of new roads in big cities, better public transport systems have been shown to reduce traffic levels. From this it is obvious that the concept of new roads for metro cities to reduce the traffic is not viable.
