An Overview of the Effect of Rising Traffic and Congestion in Bangalore on the Lives of General Public

Abstract

Abstract: Bangalore, India's Silicon Valley, is experiencing widespread traffic congestion, which has a significant impact on the urban environment of the city. This study looks at the complex effects of traffic congestion on public health, social well-being, economic productivity, and air quality in Bangalore's metropolitan environment. By conducting a thorough examination of extant literature and statistics, the research clarifies the adverse consequences of traffic congestion, including elevated levels of air pollution, an increase in traffic accidents, extended travel times, and reduced productivity. The research also looks at possible mitigating measures, such as bettering the infrastructure for public transit, enacting congestion pricing plans, encouraging the use of alternate forms of transportation, and implementing clever urban design techniques. Policymakers can create successful measures to address traffic congestion by having a thorough understanding of the intricate relationship between the two.
