Rush hour

people had pointed out the presence of trucks during rush hour which makes the situation more unbearable. Another disadvantage of traffic engineering is that it may cause harm and discomfort to people as well as to the economy especially if traffic schemes that are implemented are not suitable to the different vehicles roaming the streets. Such traffic scheme may result to vehicle collisions that would increase delay especially during peak hours. Also, disobedience of road rules and regulations may

The air was heavy with the smell of beer, fumes of cigarettes, smoke stacks from the large industrial work buildings, and a foul stench reaping from the human labor of long hours, and hard days.

Straddling Bus (SB) Current situation Road traffic congestion is a major problem in Singapore and it results in delays in the transport system such as buses not reaching their destinations on their scheduled time. Because of that, it also results in commuters not getting to their destinations on time even though they already take the shortest route to their destinations. Although the governmental organisations are putting in effort to deal with transport capacity, the majority of the citizens are

1.1.1 Extra fuel consumption Due to traffic jam, extra fuel consumption is a big problem for a developing country like India. The government is buying this extra amount of fuel with hard cash.

Our primary interest is to identify how congestion growth affects income growth in a metropolitan region. In Table 2 and 3, the results of the simultaneous equation models show that the coefficient estimates for congestion growth are negative and significant at the 10% level. That is, congestion growth has a negative effect on income growth in both 2000s and 1990s. Specifically, every one-percentage increase in congestion growth leads to a 0.07% and a 0.19% decrease in income growth during 2000s

As America enters an era of development in transportation, people are bound to tackle traffic congestions. Today, Americans spend 14.5 million hours every day in traffic because the roads have more vehicles than they can hold. Heavy traffic is mainly caused by the economy and school systems as they require people to go to work or school around the same time (Morgan, "The Costs of Highway Congestion"). There are many public transportation systems that can help reduce vehicles on the road; however
