Traffic Jam Recently, the problem of traffic jams has been brought into focus and influenced our lives more or less. But why did it appear everywhere around us? To account for traffic jams, people have come up with various reasons listed below. In the first place, with the economic development, more and more people can afford private cars, which may easily lead to traffic congestion. Besides, there are still some people who lack the sense of abiding by traffic rules. They may run the red light as long as they are willing to do so. Now that traffic jams have already caused a bad effect on our society, it is high time that we took measures such as establishing more convenient public services and encouraging people to abide by traffic rules to keep it from getting worse. Only in this way can the problem of traffic jams be improved and can we live a better life.
