Traffic congestion is all about traffic management which the RTA has no knowledge of.
There should be no parking on main and arterial roads. Buses should have to pull into side streets to pick up.
Each intersection should be rebuilt to contain a "turnaround" so traffic can turn into the traffic going the other way instead of having traffic lights.
All traffic lights on main and arterial roads(three lanes minimum) should be eliminated.
Traffic should be allowed to enter the mainstream no less than 500 metres from each "turnaround"
Pedestrians should not be put in conflict with traffic and should be able to cross roads only via overpasses on the main and arterial roads.
The speed at which traffic reaches its destination is directly related to the efficiency of egress at destination or turnoff.
Remember the whole economy of a city a town a country depends on people getting to work. Making it easier to do that assists the economy, reduces greenhouse gasses, reduces energy use and makes workers happier...but wait there's more. But not enough space. It needs a book.
The whole realm of traffic movement and management should be re-thought
The whole realm of traffic management needs to be re-thought, re-routed and re-engineered to fit into a modern society.
