Egyptians have many important issues in their lives. Traffic in Egypt has become incredible lately; almost everyone over the age of 18 owns a car. There's one thing every single Cairo resident can agree on: something needs to be fixed about traffic. The Egyptian capital is known for its congestion, a universal basis of frustration that affects everyone across the community spectrum. Yet traffic jams are much more than a nuisance. They have extremely real commercial, environmental and territorial consequences. Egypt's total population over the ten years between 1996 and 2006 increased from 59 million to 73 million, with an average annual growth rate of 2.04%. The happiest people are those who live close to their workplace or children's schools. They do not have to struggle to get their children to school, nor depend on bus drivers or trusted drivers for this task. These are the luckiest people because they don't have to worry about starting their dawn at the crack of dawn on every single date simply to face a lonely block of packed and packed cars at dawn, and once again at noon. Horrendous traffic discourages people from leaving home due to suffocating traffic jams. The government is responsible for this problem and it should be solved. There are many things that cause traffic jams. Sure there are a lot of cars on the road, but just saying that this is the reason for the traffic congestion is overly simplistic. Yet this is what countless numbers believe. Just move away from all cars, encourage bicycle use by building extra bike lanes, and improve mass transit, and all our congestion problems will be solved. W... half of the document... is in hot spots as the DOT has currently finished its work adjacent to the Brooklyn Bridge. I have provided at least 10 reasons for traffic congestion and countless solutions. In a small case something small can be done. However, too many cars are only one cause of traffic congestion. But it's not just that.
