Traffic is a very serious problem. The pedestrians and bicycle riders are
facing more and more danger. Many gardens become sacrifices to
highways. What are the best ways to make citizens satisfied in this
relation?
Traffic problems have become the biggest concern of many countries in the
world, not only because of the environmental pollution caused by the
exhaust gas and irritating noise, but also the menace they make to bicycle
riders and pedestrians. Furthermore, many gardens and grassland give way
to the rapid development of traffic facilities like highways, flyovers, and
avenues, leaving less and less space for the citizens.
Admittedly, the development of road construction stimulates the prosperity
of economy. For example, the increase of employment rate, the sales of the
private cars, and the high taxes levied on car owners are what a government
expects. But as a responsible government, it should have a long-term
development plan instead of the pursuit of a short-term profit. A responsible
government should always give priority to peoples appeal.
To make the citizens satisfied, first, a government should preserve for the
citizens more gardens and meadows, where people can spend their
weekends with their friends and family. Gardens and meadows can also
purify the polluted air, creating a good environment to the citizens. Second,
a government should encourage the use of public transport and limit the
ownership of private cars. Due to the economic development, many citizens
can afford a private car. The sales of private cars are increasing every
month. It is hard to imagine if the current roads can accommodate so large a
number of cars five or ten years later. Finally, a government should consider
the relation between economic development and environmental protection,
leaving more green land to our descendants.
To sum up, economic development and environmental protection do not
contradict each other. If a government is responsible, it should make no
efforts to give people a comfortable living environment.
