Traffic as it is

What is the cause of traffic? Too many vehicles. Humans. Unlimited Demands.
Production of vehicles in increasing year by year since the innovation of cars started. Now we have over 60 million cars (and counting) cars (motor vehicle) produced today. That means  165,000 new cars produced everyday. No wonder traffic is almost everywhere.

When one is stuck in traffic, certainly, he/she will feel anxious as they are late for work or school and that is when the blood pressure rises. One could also experience a back pain/joint stiffness, being in a car for hours sitting on the same position. You could not stretch for a minute in a car as for the compact space. Moreover, the honking of vehicles could cause mental stress that could cause disturbance in work, even when relaxing/sleeping. This could be bad for health mentally and physically. To top it off, one could lose the time spent with their family, friends, the time to have fun to hours stuck in traffic. This could also lead to mental stress, heart diseases.

With so many cars on a road, it could lead to road damage - the mass weight of the vehicles making it over limiting the maximum pressure it could hold, causing cracks, uneven surfaces. Government would spend much money to repair it and if this keep happening, taxes would eventually increase. Most definitely, no one would want that. What would you do then?
