Read the passage below and answer the following question: First, they wanted stricter traffic laws to stop drivers from ignoring traffic lights and breaking speed limits. This would help reduce road accidents. In addition, they hoped their city would improve its public transport system. For example, buses should be clean and have air conditioners. There should be bus lines that reach almost all areas in the city, so it would be easy for people to get around. They said that good public transport could also save the city money. The local authority wouldn’t need to construct new parking lots and widen roads to cater for the increasing number of private cars. Finally, the survey participants suggested the local authority build traffic apps. The apps could recommend to drivers the best routes to avoid traffic congestion. The sooner the government started implementing these, the more convenient it would be to travel around the city. The participants also mentioned the importance of encouraging people to use bicycles for short distances. They believed that building more bike lanes would make cycling safer and more attractive. Moreover, the local authority should run public campaigns to raise citizens’ awareness about traffic safety. With these combined efforts, the city could become not only more liveable but also more environmentally friendly.
