Traffic congestion in Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi is the largest emirate in the UAE; many embassies and government department are there. This makes so many people drive their cars to Abu Dhabi city every morning, which results in traffic congestion. I’m going to write about the causes and effects of traffic congestion in Abu Dhabi.
There are many causes of this problem in Abu Dhabi. The first cause is the old design of the roads which were planned 20 years ago. Abu Dhabi roads are controlled by traffic lights and they cause road users to stop for a while and this surely slows the traffic down. The second main cause is the increase in population; this results in an increase in the number of private cars on the roads.

One obvious solution is to improve the road system, with more bridges, overpasses, subways and so on. Another suggestion is to relocate businesses and government offices to outside of the center of the city.

All the people who live in Abu Dhabi have to study this problem. This will make our government understand how much the locals are bothered and they might end up with a solution for this serious problem.
