WHEN THE POPULATION RISES UP, THE NUMBER OF VEHICLES ON ROAD INCREASES, THEN TRAFFIC JAM OCCURS. SUCH A CITY, THERE ARE A FEW KIND OF MANAGEMENT DEMANDED IN ORDER TO SOLVE THE CROWD. AMONG OF THE BEST SOLUTION IS TO PROVIDE A GOOD TAFFIC SYSTEM, AS INDICATED IN THE TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT SYSTEM. A STUDY OF TRAFFIC APPLIED (INTO TYPES OF VEHICLES, ROAD CHARACTERISTICS, SPEED FLOW, ETC), VEHICLES FLOW SURVEYED, THEN SOLUTION WILL BE DETERMINED. EXAMPLES OF SOLUTIONS ARE CONSTRUCTING FLYOVERS, PUBLIC TRANSPORT FACILITIES, WIDENING ROAD WIDTH, ELEVATED VIADUCTS, CITY TRAM, BUS RE-ROUTINGS, UNDERGROUND BY-PASS AND MANY MORE. FURTHER MORE, IT IS COMPULSARY FOR EVERY USER TO BE OBEY AGAINST THE RULES.

USUALLY, PUBLIC TRANSPORT WILL BE THE PRIORITY TO CONSIDER, SUCH AS BUSES, TAXI CABS, CITY TRAMS AND EVEN THE PEDESTRIANS. THAT IS WHY IT IS COMMONLY SEEN THE BUS LANE-ONLY, ONE-WAY ROAD, PUBLIC FLY-CROSSING BRIDGES AND NETWORK OF LIGHT TRAIN.
