PAIR PRESENTATION

NOTE: YOUR MASK MUST BE COVERING YOUR NOSE. MAINTAIN SOCIAL DISTANCE.

How can we solve traffic problems?

One way to solve the problems is to get people use other forms of transport e.g walking and cycling for short distance and buses or trains for long distances since they can carry many people

How can we discourage car use?

- Increasing the Tax on petrol and diesel oil to make it more expensive use the car.

- Making parking in towns and cities more difficult and more expensive, except for those people who actually live in that town or city

- Restricting access to some towns and cities at busy times of the day.

- Closing some shopping streets to traffic so that people can walk about, safe from traffic this is called pedestrianization of streets.

- park and ride schemes : large car parks on the outskirts of town and cities from which shoppers and workers travel into the centre by bus.

- traffic calming schemes, such as ramps and chicanes, force motor vehicles to travel more slowly throught the streets where people live, shop or go to school.

- Trying to encourage more companies to send their goods by rail.

Metro system

- 'Metro' are special electrically driven light railways.

- They carry passangers from one part of the city to another quickly, safely and with minimum noise and pollution.

- They are found in cities such as ; Manchester, Newcastle, Sheffield and Glasgow.
