Mitigation measures taken to manage traffic congestion
Making public transport a choice mode
Integrated public transport
An integrated public transport system connects various modes of transportations such that it functions as a whole. This way, people will be motivated to use public transport as it is quick and easy for them to move from one point to another.
Bus lane schemes
Bus lane schemes are lanes specially set aside for private/public buses during specific days and times.
Increasing the capacity and frequency of buses and rail services.
When increasing the capacity and frequency of buses and rail services, bus and rail systems can be upgraded to carry more people and arrive more frequently. Scheduled times and an appropriate frequency is need to make a bus network efficient.
Expansion of rail networks
The expansion of rail networks means increasing the number of locations that trains can reach. This may be carried out in two ways. Firstly, more tracks can be laid. Secondly, more stations can be built.
Managing road usage
Road pricing
Road pricing is a measure that charges drivers when they use certain roads. Prices vary depending on the time of the day but are the most during peak hours to discourage the use of certain roads. Example: ERP system in Singapore.
Increased parking fees
Parking fees can be increased to manage road usage. This would increase the cost of driving, thus, encouraging people to use public transport instead.
Enhanced traffic monitoring
Traffic monitoring can alert drivers with constant information in panels to use or not to use certain roads.
Other measures
Telecommuting
Telecommuting refers to working from home or at a location near the employee's home so that they do not have to travel to the office every day. By doing this, it reduces traffic congestion.
Encouraging cycling
Bicycles are environmentally friendly and a convenient mode of transport because of the mobility and flexibility they offer.
