Traffic congestion from automobiles is a growing issue, which results in harmful detrimental effects on both pollution and quality of life. One suggested solution is to reduce the amount of traveling done by people for personal, work or academic related. This certainly is a viable solution and it may reduce the traffic to a great extent with, but it does come with some disadvantages and drawbacks. This essay disagrees with proposed solution and will discuss on negative aspects of solution in question followed with alternative approach to lower the traffic in an effective way.
Preventing people from traveling results in certain degree of isolation, which could have a drawback on the overall community. Human beings have been social creatures from the very beginning and this is an important aspect in the overall development and advancement of human race. Technology today has evolved to the level that allows humans to do most of their day to day activities without stepping out. This behavior gradually, but consistently results in reduced human interactions with one another, which results is social isolation leading to awkwardness and discomfort when running into other fellow human beings. This could have greater impact on society and affect how societies operate, leading to a slowdown of the process of evolution.
The other practical and promising method is to encourage green mode of transportation, which uses recycled sources of energy. This does reduce the amount of travel needed by people, which would lead to lowering of traffic, leading to congestion free cities. This approach does have other added benefits which are actually better for environment. The overall air pollution and vehicular noises are reduced. Other big advantage to this approach indirectly results in healthy lifestyle and good habits.
To conclude, the proposed suggestion on lowering the traffic has certain important negative aspects. As such, this essay disagrees with this offered solution and also since other better approaches are available with multi-level benefits are discussed above on one such alternative solution.
Traffic congestion caused by
Traffic congestion caused by automobiles has become a major issue in almost all cities all over the world. Some people opine that reducing the need for people to travel is the best way to reduce traffic congestion. In my opinion, this approach will certainly help; however, it has its downsides.
Thanks to advancements in technology, it is now possible for people to perform most tasks without having to step outside. For example, they can buy just about anything they need online. They can also pay bills online. In fact, many organizations already allow their employees to work from home. In future, as access to technology improves more and more businesses and establishments will offer the work from option. Likewise, many universities now offer their courses online. By simply encouraging more students to study online and more people to work from home, the government can reduce traffic and vehicular pollution to a great extent.
However, this approach does have its side effects. If people stop traveling, millions of drivers employed by the travel industry will lose their livelihood. This will have a massive impact on the economy. Any reduction in the amount of traveling will also reduce the demand for cars, motorbikes and buses. So, obviously, the automobile industry will be hit hard and people employed in this sector will lose their jobs. There are many more drawbacks. When people perform every activity online, there will be a dramatic decline in face to face interactions. Eventually, this will lead to many psychological and socio-cultural problems. For example, lack of interactions with others may trigger depression in some people. In other words, the disadvantages of reducing the need to travel will outweigh its advantages. Hence, in my opinion, a better solution is to build wider roads and create more job opportunities in the countryside. This will stop the migration of rural folks into urban areas and thus reduce the congestion in cities.
To conclude, eliminating the need the travel will certainly reduce traffic congestion everywhere; unfortunately, this move will create more problems than it solves.
