Are you have experience for traffic congestion??

There are some of conclusion that more development of road, will be more congestion due to demand on the private vehicles.. do you agree??

There are some of issues and problems of traffic:

1. Traffic congestion

This problem can be happen when the traffic volume is more than road capacity inefficient traffic management. The management included for the traffic system for private vehicle and public transport

2. Delay
Delaying will encourage for long travelling time and wasting billions of ringgit in delays. It waste money because while congestion the vehicles in progress and its need the fuel. More time is delaying, more fuel have been used, More 'ringgit' have been waste.

3. Environment pollution
The vehicle also will encourage air polluted that causes by poisonous gas, its also cause the noise pollution. it will causes increasing the air temperature and air will be polluted that may effect ours health and produce smelly air due to increase of air temperature. This problem will waste of natural sources.

4. Public transport
The main issue and problem in Malaysia is inconvenience, not comfortable of public transport and there are some of public transport that charge an expensive on fare. Management of public transport that not following the schedule and lack or limited facilities those not attract people to use it.

5. Parking facilities
Others issues
in planning context is insufficient of parking facilities will encourage to congest, another problem is blocking/ interrupting smooth traffic flow, this is because people will park nearly to their destination, lack of people will not walking from the parking area that provided to the destination that located quite far from parking area. This will refer on pedestrian walkway that have been provided is safety or not.



6. Pedestrian
Problem that will be happen to pedestrian is exposed to accident, based on planning guidelines, there are few of design for the pedestrian walkway have been provided to ensure pedestrian safety, there are no facilities or limited facilities that had been provided such as zebra-crossing. Some of facilities have provided are not comprehensive and inconvenience design.
