Reasons of Bad Traffic in Shanghai I have to agree with deeze in saying that Shanghai is poorly planned. The roads are very narrow and people just keep buying cars. My solutions would probably be something like: 1) Put a higher vehicle tax on cars and gasoline. 2) Open more public transportation parallel to subway lines 1/2 3) use more overhead bridges to cut down on stoplights And for wishful thinking, why not: bring back bicycles and motorcycles because they are more space-efficient. Other than that, there really isn't much to be done. The idea struck me that private cars being banned altogether from yan'an tunnel during rush hour wouldn't be bad, but to be honest i think also an analysis of bus routes would also be beneficial as there are a LOT of half-full or even empty buses going through that tunnel. Also I would say that moving some of the bus terminal stops out of lujiazui to somewhere else would be helpful. Basically, my point is that empty buses should not run anywhere if possible as they take up too much space. |
