Car Congestion & Parking problems

Abu Dhabi is the capital of the UAE with a highly increased population. It’s one of the most crowded cities in the world and has traffic congestion and parking problems.

The most obvious reason for the traffic congestion and parking problems in Abu Dhabi is the increased population. That means that there will be a lot of cars on the road and that will cause traffic jams in the middle of the city. In addition, the weather in summer is too hot and people can’t go where they want by walking, so they have to go with their own car. Lack of adequate public transport is one of the real problems in Abu Dhabi, because Abu Dhabi is an island and we can’t build for example a railway system.

One of the best solutions to solve these problems is to raise the age of licence holders to over 21 years old for the government, because that will decrease the number of the cars in the city. In addition, if any new building will be built in the middle of the city it has to make sure it has adequate parking to solve the problems and that will save the time for many people. Finally, if they improve the existing road system by building bridges, overpasses and underpasses that will decrease the traffic congestion.

All in all, Abu Dhabi suffers from traffic congestion and parking problems. Raising the age of the license holders is the most obvious short-term solution. In the long run, however, improving the existing road system is one of the most important solutions too.
