The document discusses traffic problems in metro cities and potential solutions. It notes main causes of traffic as double parking, road work, accidents, and insufficient public transport. This leads to issues like increased pollution, fuel use, and travel delays. Traffic signals can help control traffic but also cause delays. Solutions proposed include optimizing traffic light timing, using CCTV, enforcing laws, improving public transport and infrastructure for cycling, buses, and park-and-ride options. Specific traffic conditions on roads in Pune and Mumbai are also mentioned.

1. Traffic Problems In Metro City
Name : Akash Arun Patil
Roll No. : 21
Subject : Infrastructure And Transportation System
Guided By : Prof.P.P.Hirave

2. Main Problems Of Traffic In The City :
• Double parking, Road work, Lane closure
due to utility work, Road narrowing down
and An accident.
• Lack of planning of city road, using private
cars widely, road capacity and insufficient
and inadequate public transport.
• demand-supply imbalance in the
transportation network.
• Disabled traffic control equipment
• Difficult weather conditions

3. Disadvantages Of Traffic Congestion :
• Increasing air pollution
• Increasing fuel consumption.
• Increase in use of less-adequate roads to
avoid traffic signs.
• Excessive delay due to time allocated by
the traffic signals.
• slow speed of road transport

4. Disadvantages Of Traffic Signals :
• 1. They delay the traffic by stopping the
vehicles at the intersection during peak
hours.
• 2. During signals breakdown, there are
serious and wide-spread traffic difficulties
during peak hours.

5. Advantages Of Traffic Signals :
• Traffic control by signals is accurate and
economical as compared to traffic police control.
• Signals can increase the capacity of traffic
handling at the intersection.
• Traffic signals help for movement of traffic
securely without any collision.
• The traffic signals help for the safe movement of
slow-moving traffic by interrupting heavy traffic at
regular intervals.

6. Solutions For Reduce Traffic Congestion :
• Optimise traffic-light management
• Use CCTV to monitor road conditions
• Enforce existing road traffic laws
• Improve perceptions of buses
• Extend residents’ parking zones
• Charge for workplace parking
• Improve cycling infrastructure
• Improve bus services
• Develop and refine park-and-ride
• Use Inbound Flow Control
• Rationalise distribution and deliveries
• Existing rail network
• Light rail
• Strategic Road Network resilience
