Transport, 2 marks

Main disadvantage of heavy road traffic in cities?

  1. Lower noise levels in town
  2. Faster journey times for all
  3. Congestion and air pollution
Show the answer

Congestion and air pollution

Too many vehicles for the road space cause delays, and idling engines raise fuel use, exhaust fumes and noise in built-up areas.

Transport, 3 marks

One way a city can reduce traffic congestion?

  1. Build more city-centre car parks
  2. Improve public transport
  3. Remove all bus lanes
Show the answer

Improve public transport

Frequent buses, trams and trains carry many more people per lane than cars, so shifting commuters off the road frees up road space.
