Sažetak
Traffic in cities is a common problem affecting many people worldwide. In the last ten years, this problem has become more and more pronounced, not only in certain countries but all over the world. The most striking change that is happening is the increased urbanization that is gaining momentum. Many factors contribute to traffic in cities, the most important of which are the growing population, limited road infrastructure, and the large number of vehicles on the roads. Modern cities face many traffic difficulties, which is why a current organization of transport infrastructure is necessary for these cities. On one hand, congestion and slow traffic in cities can lead to several problems, including longer travel times, increased air pollution, and reduced productivity. On the other hand, the safety of city traffic must be necessary for pedestrians and cyclists, since they are more vulnerable participants in traffic in cities. This paper will describe some of the mentioned problems of city traffic but also offer solutions that will help in their elimination. There are a number of solutions that can be implemented to solve traffic problems in cities. One solution is to improve public transport options such as buses, trains, and subways, to make them more accessible, efficient, and practical. Another solution is to create bike lanes and pedestrian-friendly infrastructure to encourage people to walk or bike instead of driving. Other solutions to reduce traffic in cities include car sharing and ride sharing, promoting the use of electric vehicles, electric bicycles, or electric romobiles (pogo sticks).
