Sample Essay - Reason Solution (Writing Task 2)

 Question

Nowadays, traffic jams are common across all the cities in the world. Why is it so? What can be some possible solutions?

Essay

Traffic congestion is becoming increasingly frequent in urban regions all over the world, because of a variety of reasons, which need to be identified so that this problem can be solved.

There are a number of reasons for the increasing traffic jams. Firstly, inadequate public transport is one of the reasons that most people choose to travel using private vehicles and the usage of these private vehicles leads to an increase in traffic on the roads. Secondly, office timings are usually the same and there is a lot of rush hour traffic in the mornings and evenings. Thirdly, it is becoming easier and cheaper to get car loans by the day because of which more people are buying cars. Fourthly, there are potholes on roads in many cities because the roads are poorly maintained which slow down the traffic. Lastly, in some places, there is insufficient staff in the traffic police. Therefore, people do not obey the traffic rules leading to chaotic and slow traffic.

However, certain measures can help solve this problem of traffic jams. To begin with, authorities should make a good public transport system a priority. Increased usage of public transport will not only reduce traffic jams, but it will also have the added benefit of a decrease in air pollution. Moreover, the government can have rules which do not allow one household to have more than two cars. Another option is to increase the taxes on the purchase of private vehicles. Furthermore, offices can have flexible timings for their employees and if possible, the employees should have the option of working from home. Last but not least, more well-trained police personnel and better maintenance of roads would go a long way in better management of traffic.

To sum up, traffic jams are a major issue worldwide, but this can be solved with the combined effort of the individuals and the government.
