Paragraph - Traffic Jam

Traffic jam has become a common sight in our modern city life. Basically, it occurs because of the large number of vehicles. But in our country, there are other causes too. The roads are mostly narrow and out of repair. There are often garbage and building materials dumped on the roads. There are many unauthorized roadside shops. Very often because of meetings and processions, roads are blocked. There is a tendency among the drivers to disregard traffic rules. The drivers also have an overtaking tendency. Slow-moving and swift-moving vehicles move together. It also causes traffic jams. Traffic jams are most acute during the time people go to or return from their work or at the time of public examinations. It causes wastage of time and sufferings to the passengers. People cannot go to their respective places in time because of traffic jams. Patients on the way to hospitals suffer acutely and it often causes death. Something must be done to solve this problem. The number of traffic police should be increased. Over-bridges should be built more. There may be underground train service and improved bus service. The roads must be suitable for the smooth movement of the vehicles. Some roads should be made one-way. Certain vehicles may be prohibited to ply during the peak hours of traffic. Above all, traffic rules must be enforced strictly. If proper steps are not taken soon, city life will become intolerable in near future.
