Letter From 401 Road Analysis

The town of Halton Hill’s population includes the areas of Georgetown and Acton and other communities such as Erin, Oakville, Burlington and Milton regions. This is what is considered to be my community because these are the many places that I am visiting most often and they are always referred to together as “Halton Hills Region” (p.5, 2011). With the substantial increase in population in the Halton Hills region, more specifically Georgetown, there should be a strong demand for a public transit system to counteract all of the environmental disturbances that are being caused due to this increase. One of the things that is happening is that there are so many trees they are cutting down in order to expand and grow the population with houses being built. Statistics are showing that the population of Halton Hill’s region will expand by 54% over the next 20 years (p.5, 2011). By the year 2031, employment rates will increase by 75%, leaving Halton with 42,100 jobs being offered (p.5, 2011). With this rapid influx of citizens, this will only increase the demands of travel to get to these work places as well as other destinations (p.5, 2011). Over the past couple of year’s the traffic congestion on the major roads in Halton Hills such as Trafalgar Road and Regional Road 25 with individuals trying to get to and from work. There used to be very little traffic in these areas, however since Halton Hill’s has continued to expand, the utilization of automobiles has significantly increased due to the fact there is no public transit system. The Transportation Demand Management in Halton Hill’s is noticing the increase in automobiles stating that there needs to be a major shift in more efficient ways of transportation, yet there still has been nothing improvised (p.7, 2011). The Transportation Demand

As a result of an increased population inhabiting one area, traffic congestion is often a major issue resulting from urbanisation. In London, traffic is evidently a problem. As it would be expected from a capital city home to more

Everyday people in Toronto travel to places using public transportation. Without public transportation, we wouldn’t be able to go to places that are far away from us. We needed them in our everyday life but there are key problems that surfaces when using public transportation. Public transportation may seem convenient but for others it may not seem ideal for them from certain circumstances such as the cost, lack of transportation in a certain area and the delays. These make people not want to ride a public transportation which is why Toronto should improve on the public transportation to make the best interest for the people.

You think LA traffic is bad? Well you’ve never been to Chino Hills High School. Walking around Chino Hills High School is a nightmare. With nearly 3,000 students, Chino Hills High School hallways are extremely difficult to navigate. People are swarming everywhere; Getting to a class that would normally take 2 minutes would now take 5 minutes. The areas that are all too familiar to these traffic jams are definitely the mods and the walkway leading from the 50s quad to the mods. One major reason for these is that people don’t pay attention to where they are going and spend too much time looking at their phones or talking to their friends. This leads many students to walk slower and stop in the middle of the walkway, causing a traffic jam. Possibly

We’re walking through Toronto at 5:30 pm. It’s one of the most busy times of day, also we’re in a larger city so that probably doesn’t help either. As I look around, there were rows of towering buildings stretched above us. There were people everywhere shoving their way through. There were so many cars, and many people honking their horns. I’ve never been in a big city like that before, so I never realized how much easier it is to drive in Traverse City.

Traffic in Miami can be frustrating for many drivers. With the large number of tourists who visit the city each year, along with the many people who work, live and commute in the city, getting around can take much longer than it should. Often, people who live in the city plan their schedules around heavy-traffic times to avoid getting stuck and wasting time in traffic. In particular, the South Dixie Highway, the US-95, the Dolphin Expressway, Florida's Turnpick, and many surface streets seem to have the most traffic and should be avoided during heavy-traffic times of the day.

It is clear that Toronto is facing a serious problem of traffic congestion since it is the most congested city in North America. Canada government spends on more over $ 2 billion for one year and it makes various factors. These factors are categorized into non- recurring and recurring factors. However, in Canada traffic jam is the largest percentage and the paper focused on recurring factors. These include increased automobile use, poor planning and lapse in implementation of laws which govern traffic systems. This leads to the use of many private cars by workers who commute to work as opposed to use of public transport systems resulting in congestion. There are several solutions to reduce traffic congestion in Toronto. These involve encouraging

(Palisoc, 2014). With the continuous struggle of efforts to get Toronto’s transit system back up

There is a system of mass transit in my community. I will need mass transit because people have jobs that they need to get to and if they don’t have a car or taxi they won’t get to their job in time.

Comparing the data extracted from the census 2001 and 2006 illustrated a growing population from Punjabi and Pilipino ethnicity in 25% during the last 5 years, as a result the Metro Vancouver area has planned to increase areas for housing, recreation and transportation. One of the proposal is create a parallel important vial road to link Marpole neighborhood with Shaughnessy – near to Elizabeth Queen Park. This new road will decrease the bottle neck in this area which is increasing the transit via buses or cars.

City infrastructure is a cost that is growing faster than revenues and deserves some attention. Our street funds, usually comprised from the DMV, have increased over time but not enough to keep up with our growing population and inflation.

Lastly, there is an urged to deal with to problem of traffic congestion. “The problem of traffic congestion in Hong Kong is caused by the lack using of public transport” (Lo I, 2004). Hong Kong is such a small place but there are a few million vehicles on the roads. We can see that there are a lot of private vehicles running on the road everyday. The increasing of private vehicles increases the demand of the usage of the roads. As more and more vehicles are riding on the roads at the same time, the road system will then cannot afford. Traffic congestion occurs. Another cause of traffic congestion is less well-planned road system in Hong Kong. In Central, traffic congestion is common. It is because of the poor road system. Many vehicles will rush to Central at the rush hour, but the poor road system cannot help to divert the vehicles flow rate. So many vehicles are concentrated in Central and caused traffic congestion. What are the impacts of traffic congestion? Firstly, Lo I. (2004) claimed that people are needed to pay heavy time cost for traffic congestion. The wasting of time may lead to the loss of business, late for work and school. So traffic congestion can also cause the economics loss. In addition, the image of Hong Kong will also be affect. Hong Kong is an international financial center that gives the world an image of

In the United States of America We have many problems in our life in a daily basis some of it are in the relationships some of it are in other places but the most important on in my opinion is traffic, and when we say traffic it does not have to be specific about cars it can be with pedestrians, animals, buses, and any vehicle that can be on the roads and freeways, but the type of traffic that causes problem on the roads is called traffic congestion. “Traffic congestion is a condition on transport networks that occurs as use increases, and is characterized by slower speeds, longer trip times, and increased vehicular queueing”(Wikipedia). This quote explains the definition of the traffic congestion and what is the meaning of it. Traffic congestion causes many problems to the drivers like getting late to work or school, it happens because of many things, like if there is construction work traffic happens, or if it’s raining ,or if a big accident happened.

It is obviously to see that there is a lot of traffic congestion in big cities these days.However, solving this problem is not easy at all.In my opinion we have to do three immediate measures in order to solve the traffic problem in my city and in other cities as well.First of all, we should encourage people to use public transport,because public transport can carry a lot of people compared with private vehicles, so we can

Traffic congestion is no fun for anyone, but it’s deadly for public transport. When buses and trams are stuck in traffic jams they fall behind schedule and, because this means that more people will be waiting at the next stops, they fall even further behind schedule leading to bunching and compounding delays. Bunched buses and delays make public transport unattractive for customers and increase operational costs, so congestion impacts on public transport must be eliminated whenever possible.
