Two ways of getting rid of traffic jams

In the cities of Cork became a major problem for residents and the authorities. Poor environment and business inefficiencies, and that the ambulance, fire brigades, police can not come quickly to the challenges - the main consequences of this problem. There are many different ideas on how to resolve this issue, but in general it all comes down to two directions. The first direction - and most unpopular - it's traffic limit. Radical measures such as alternating movements (in one day moving vehicles with even numbers in the other - with the odd, and alternate days), used in some countries, are hardly possible in Russia. It is hard to imagine that the residents want to limit yourself, and move this idea from the authorities is also not expected because officials also need to go every day. Half-measures such as ideas develop cycling or driving up the neighbors call each other at work (when one day travel by car alone, and another - on another machine) can be represented still pretty utopian. Bicycles - this summer only transport (and traffic jams in the winter even larger than in the summer), in addition, most citizens have no desire to move around the city this way. Also associate with someone other than family and friends, with the current trend in society to the individuation and separation, few will. More effective measure is paid entry to the city center. This has been successfully implemented in London, and discounts are available on entry to the taxi and the disabled. Another set of measures - improving road safety. This includes the construction of modern roads, interchanges, including duplex, reducing the number of traffic lights in the construction of aboveground and underground passages, a ban on parking along the roads and much more. Plugs can be adjusted adjustment of traffic rules, for example, bans on certain turns in congested intersections, so cars do not stand for long periods, waiting for their turn to turn (but it requires the organization of other ways to be able to turn from one street to another). One of the methods - online information about traffic jams in the city (particularly, the Yandex search engine Yandex). Improving public transport can help to cope with congestion. For example, a taxi in Moscow, solves the problem of parking in the narrow crowded streets. Both of these areas should complement each other. Improved road network - this is, of course, the basis for solving the problem of traffic jams. However, the difficulty lies in the fact that traffic growth is still in any case will continue to outpace the construction of roads and parking lots, which means that there will be congestion. As a result, urban authorities are increasingly inclined to impose restrictions, prohibitive measures, and this trend can be seen worldwide.
