Deep dives
Causes of Traffic Congestion
Traffic congestion primarily occurs when the number of vehicles exceeds the capacity of roads, often exacerbated by poor infrastructure planning that fails to accommodate growing populations. Frequent bottlenecks arise from narrow roads or inadequate design, leading to significant traffic delays. Additional factors include accidents that obstruct lanes and poorly crafted traffic laws intended to regulate driving but instead hindering movement. These elements collectively contribute to frustrating traffic jams, particularly during peak hours.
