If you can reduce traffic even somewhat, then congestion will go down much faster than you might think.

Traffic congestion caused by tourism can have a serious impact on local quality of life, requiring effective management solutions.

Hi. I'm here to talk about congestion, namely road congestion.

When a highway tunnel is experiencing traffic congestion in the form of vehicles queuing, the traffic police department should take measures such as preventing vehicles from entering, guiding and diverting the traffic according to specific situations and issue the information of traffic jam in a timely way.

Call it acute congestion indeed!

Wrong again. It's now six and a half years ago since the congestion charges were introduced in Stockholm, and we basically have the same low traffic levels still.

Road congestion is a pervasive phenomenon.

You really reduce congestion quite substantially.

Now, that's also wrong, because traffic happens to be a nonlinear phenomenon, meaning that once you reach above a certain capacity threshold then congestion starts to increase really, really rapidly.

In London, the day they turned the congestion pricing on, there was a 25 percent decrease in congestion overnight, and that's persisted for the four years in which they've been doing congestion pricing.

Call it acute congestion of the stomach and brain.

The first day with the congestion charges looked like this.

Problems of congestion here provoked further displacement to larger cities.

They're actually confident that they have liked congestion pricing all along.

They're relieving congestion, and they're frankly starting to save some fuel.

This shows public support for congestion pricing of Stockholm, and you see that when congestion pricing were introduced in the beginning of Spring 2006, people were fiercely against it.

But, as has been demonstrated in areas like air pollution, traffic congestion, spectrum allocation, and tobacco consumption, market mechanisms are often the best way for governments to address such failures. So why are such mechanisms now in retreat?

It s an unfortunate reality in nearly every major city road congestion, especially during rush hours. Jonas Eliasson reveals how subtly nudging just a small percentage of drivers to stay off major roads can make traffic jams a thing of the past.

The demand for parking, of course, is down, congestion and the CO2 emissions.

I don't see what's so cute about a congestion just cos it's yours.

So, the last example of this is congestion pricing, very famously done in London.

Whatever happens with congestion pricing and those technologies will be happening with road pricing.

Even with the aggressive implementation of cleaner vehicle technologies, there remains a strong motivation to reduce demand for personal vehicle transport, because crippling traffic congestion is a serious impediment to economic growth, quality of life and personal safety in countless places around the world.

And let's now look at how we can use this insight to combat road congestion.

Which means that we are now in a position where we have reduced traffic across this toll cordon with 20 percent, and reduced congestion by enormous numbers, and people aren't even aware that they have changed, and they honestly believe that they have liked this all along.

As a result, China s economy is dominated by resource hungry and inefficient polluters, such as coal and mineral mines, textile and paper mills, iron and steel makers, petrochemical factories, and building material producers. Our cities are exploding in size, depleting water resources and creating horrific traffic congestion.

So with cities, you also have congestion and pollution and disease and all these negative things.

Traffic lights are used to regulate traffic.

Congestion pricing is being discussed in every major city around the world and is, again, wirelessly enabled.

This is the last day with the congestion charges, July 31, and you see the same street but now it's summer, and summer in Stockholm is a very nice and light time of the year, and the first day without the congestion charges looked like this.

And what congestion pricing is is that it's a technology trial and a psychological trial for something called road pricing.

Heavy traffic today.

Limiting motor traffic in centres of cities and establishing appropriate motor traffic management.

It is important to note that about 55 per cent of the traffic is overflight traffic, and 20 per cent is khat traffic.

Traffic management schemes, such as measures designed to encourage optimum traffic flows which reduce overall greenhouse gas emissions from traffic, should be promoted.

It is only when all traffic participants abide by the traffic laws and regulations that the urban traffic order problem could be fundamentally addressed.

But what happened when the congestion charges were there is not what you would expect, that people hated it more and more.

Indeed, research programs led by defense industries have already changed our lives, giving us the jet engine, the Internet, and satellite navigation. In the future, technology developed for military aerial surveillance could have major civilian benefits for example, helping to control traffic and reduce road congestion, and assisting in the dispatch of rescue teams and humanitarian assistance.
