Traffic jam is such kind of situation where a lot of vehicles crowd so close together that movement becomes impossible for some time. It is a common affair in the big cities and towns. Nowadays it is one of the major problems in our country. The causes of traffic jams are the rapid growth of the population, increasing the number of vehicles and narrow roads. Traffic jam is a great problem and it kills our valuable time. Our works are also badly hampered by a traffic jam. A traffic jam can be solved by well-planned spacious roads, strict traffic rules, and by sufficient traffic police. After taking all these steps, we may hope to have a good traffic system for easy and comfortable movement.

मेरे विचार से सडक़ जाम का प्रमुख कारण सडकों के दोनों तरफ अतिक्रमण है जिस पर कठोर कार्यवाही होनी चाहिये।

There can be multiple factors causing traffic jam.
1. Too many cars for the roadway due to inadequate mass transit options or other reasons.
2.Obstacles in the road causing a blockage and merger. These can be any of the following:Double parking, Road work, Lane closure due to utility work, Road narrowing down and An accident.
3.Traffic signals out of sync many times on purpose or occasionally when the computers are malfunctioning.
4.Too many pedestrians crossing not permitting cars to turn.

About half of all traffic slowdowns are caused by temporary traffic flow disruptions. These are the unwelcome surprises that take over part of the roadway, such as an accident blocking a lane, a construction zone causing a bottleneck, or inclement weather conditions that affect all drivers

Between 1980 and 1999, the number of miles of highway increased by 1.5 percent, whereas the number of miles traveled by drivers increased by 76 percent. This imbalance between supply and demand has very real consequences, leading to more traffic jams, and worst of all, more car accidents. The increase in drivers and lack of comparable increase in highways are what causes congestion.

Traffic jams are frustrating because although many are caused by accidents or road construction that we can see, just as many are caused seemingly by nothing. So, what causes traffic jams? What’s behind those mysterious and sudden stops?
