Traffic is a major problem in Hawaii. Traffic can cause many problems including making travel difficult, creating health problems, wasting resources, and reducing the quality of life. On average, people waste a month of their life on the road in traffic, and Hawaii was ranked third in the nation for worst traffic. Traffic is caused by multiple reasons including accidents on the road, commuters traveling at the same time, bad weather, and construction activity. If we do not do something about the traffic problem now, finding workable solutions in the future will become very difficult. Some solutions are to increase the amount of roads or decrease the amount of cars, building an alternative freeway, government incentives for carpooling, or even restrictions against a certain amount of cars in one household. If even friends and family enforce these solutions, traffic may decrease. There are other options such a change in the days considered weekends. For most people, the weekend is Saturday and Sunday, but what if there was an option to change those days? If there were two certain days during the week as some peoples’ weekends instead, there would be fewer cars on the road on certain days. For example, you may get the option of having your weekend on Wednesday and Thursday instead of Saturday and Sunday. If this idea works out, this could reduce the amount of cars and traffic on the road. Another …show more content…
Ching’s overall vision was to help people and improve society. He did various things to ensure this mission, and there are many things we can do to ensure this mission as well. I particularly hope to improve traffic, not only to improve society, but for personal reasons as well. Traffic can make getting to and from places hard. I live in Ewa Beach, and the school I attend is in Kaimuki. Because traffic can be difficult, getting to school on time is a challenge. As tardies accumulate, the quality of college applications or any other applications for high school
Hawaii’s political economy went through some major changes. The development of plantations and tourism paved the path for how Hawaii’s economy is today. I will discuss how tourism, ethnicity, gender and education both constrain and enable opportunities in contemporary Hawaii.
...ching changed the South and the people of the South, but accepting the truth and moving forward with history in mind is the way towards racial understanding.
“The Tao-te Ching is as much about good government as it is moral behavior.” (Thoughts from the Tao-te Ching 203.) The points Lao-tzu was trying to get across can be interpreted in many ways… But ultimately it resulted in a form of guidance given to us. Understanding how to be a good leader is beneficial to everyone. Good leadership is a great characteristic to have, and learning ways of minimizing the power you have as a leader is going to be the key to the Tao. Being able to identify the means of Lao-tzu’s teachings will help an individual such as a political leader to limit power, also by understanding his word it can help individuals overcome obstacles, lastly his teachings can influence a society to learn respect for one another.
“Traffic is only one of the side effects of growth,” explains Roy Barnes. Barnes highlights how human overpopulation is having a negative effect on our daily lives. In the city of Los Angeles, CA, freeways are usually congested with vehicles, which cause long hours of traffic. According to RAND researchers from the RAND Corporation, a nonprofit institution that helps improve policy and decision-making through research and analysis, Los Angeles traffic is the “worst in the nation” and affects “quality of life, economic competitiveness, and fuel economy” (Reducing). Drivers tend to get stressed or frustrated due to the number of hours lost stuck in traffic. Being aware and preoccupied with not causing a car accident, drivers cannot multitask
Have you ever been eaten alive by the fury of the Pacific Ocean? Well, it happened to me and many other exciting things happened when I visited Hawaii for the first time. About eight years ago, during my spring break, my family and I went to the island of Kauai and we were there for about eight days. I am telling you, the first time you visit a tropical paradise; your scenes will change drastically. The food, the people (locals and tourists), the culture, and lest not forget that unforgiving Pacific Ocean.

I was in the atmosphere inside it was cold and dense but I could feel a warm front moving in, I could feel gravity getting stronger. Then it was time one by one raindrops fell to the earth below then it was my turn I got blown over to an ocean I was pulled into a surface current it was the temperature was warm, I could taste the thick salinity in the distance I could see mountains. I could tell it wouldn’t be to long before something happens the rain had stopped and it turned into a bright hot summer day in what looked like Honolulu Hawaii I already could feel the sun beating down on me I started raising into the atmosphere.
If they were arriving late, they will have to park the last floor or level. Traffic badly every day because overpopulation. It is wasting time and energy to pass through this problem. For this reason, people are getting angry easy and they are fighting and killing each other for traffic.
There are a lot of things that cause traffic jams. Sure there are a lot of cars on the road, but just to say that’s what reasons traffic congestion is overly simplistic. Yet that’s what countless believe. Just become clear of all the cars, enthuse the use of bikes by constructing extra bike lanes, and enhance mass transit, and all our congestion setbacks will be solved. W...
Every year there are 1.3 million traffic deaths with traffic accidents being the leading cause of death for teenagers in America. This is slowly killing off the next generation of adults. The World Health Organization believes it will be the 5th leading cause of death in just over a decade. Traffic accidents

The primary point of traffic laws is safety, but also keeping order. Following traffic laws is one of the most essential aspects of driving and can increase your safety as well as of the people around you. Knowing the traffic rules in our region and applying them can prevent us from getting involved in an car accident and save us the pain and costs of a traffic ticket due to a violation. If we didn’t have any traffic laws there would be chaos on the roads and many disasters could happen.
From January to October in 2009, there were over 61 cases of over 30-minute traffic congestions, and 12 serious cases, which occurred about 40 minutes to 8 hours in Ho Chi Minh City (qdt. in Quochung). The traffic situation would be more complex in the later months, Mr. Tran, the president of Ho Chi Minh City department of transportation, declared at the meeting of searching methods to manage traffic jam in urban areas (qdt. in Quochung). This number did not mention the under 30-minute traffic jams which happen every day in the most crowded city in Vietnam, even in the off-peak hours. Thus, the traffic congestion is extremely familiar with people who are living, working, studying in there. Each street is full of cars, motorcycles, building constructions, and roadwork; people are easy to get traffic jam in the rush hours. Traffic situation is increasing to a new high-risk level. Spreading urban area to manage traffic congestion well is an extremely important in Ho Chi Minh City because the traffic jam causes air pollution, wastes time and money, which affects society as whole.
Wikipedia defines traffic congestion as the condition on road networks that occur as the use as use increase is characterized by slower speed, longer trip times and increased vehicular queuing. Congestion occurs when the demand for transport is greater than the supply of transport in a particular part of the transport system. Congestion is deemed bad for the economy as it has a negative impact on the business activities that are common in towns like Windhoek. Traffic congestion is popular during the mornings when everybody is travelling to school, work it is also popular during the night when people have knocked off and are returning to their homes.
There is nothing that anyone can do to solve the traffic woes of Metro Manila, even with the ingenuity and hard work of the MMDA chairman” (Padilla,2015). Padilla reasoned out that with its current population of more than 12 million that swells to about 15 million during the daytime, Metro Manila is the undisputed primate city in the country whose close competitors such as Metro Cebu (2.5 million) or Metro Davao (2.2 million) pale in comparison in terms of population size. Now tell me, how do you manage that? The incidence of thousands of commuters and motorists spending long hours stuck in a traffic jam especially after torrential rains and consequent flooding is a given. We should not have the illusion that our existing and ongoing efforts will ameliorate our traffic problem once and for all. Our state of urban affairs is like what the legendary Yogi Berra used to quip. “It’s déjà vu all over again.” This means that with the vast amount of people that keeps on growing, traffic will never be annihilated. However, does that mean that it is better to overlook or disregard the developing traffic congestion in Manila than to attempt to solve
