1. How can we solve the traffic jam problem?
Many measures can be taken to address this problem, but right now I can list two of them. The first one is for the government to invest more on the transportation infrastructure, they can build more or widen roads, bridges, etc. I think this is especially important in metropolitan areas that accommodate million of dwellers. The second solution is better education because with better education, people commute more effectively on the road. I’ve seen tons of situations where the road is heavily congested due to one car jumping the red light.
- metropolitan areas: các khu vực đông dân
- jumping the red light: vượt đèn đỏ
2. Do you think developing public transport can solve traffic jam problems?
Yes I do, it’ll not address 100% of the problem but is still a great solution. While a small car can only carry 3-4 people and it’s half the size of a bus, which can carry up to 20-30 people. I do believe that the traffic volume can be reduced.
- traffic volume: lưu lượng giao thông
3. Do you think the highways will help reduce traffic jams?
This is another effective tool to curb (giảm) traffic jams. I’m not really an expert about, you know, constructing and roads, but I guess high ways help people travel at a faster speed and there are no traffic lights or intersections at all! So there’s less chance of people jumping the lights and interrupting the traffic flow.
- curb: giảm
4. What are good ways to manage traffic?
The only way that I know to manage traffic well is good urban planning (kế hoạch đô thị hóa). Not only roads but also buildings and other infrastructure need to be built reasonably so that the traffic volume is fairly distributed among areas. That’s why governments always try to avoid building too many skyscrapers within a particular area, they don’t want to overload the street!
- urban planning: kế hoạch đô thị hóa
