There are more and more cars in the cities. Hence, pedestrians and cyclist are endangered by heavy traffic. Gardens and streets give way to car parks and highways. How can city planners satisfy all people's needs?

Each day, tens of thousands of people die from traffic accidents in cities worldwide, a regrettable and wasteful loss of human lives. With cars increasing daily, new roads and parking lots are forever taking the place of gardens and streets. Careful planning and necessary measures can best serve the interest of all people.

Certainly, a well-developed public transport system is the ultimate way to reduce the number of cars on the road. Extensive and efficient subway systems and bus services could provide cheap and comfortable drives for everyone even in rush hours, vastly reducing the total number of cars on the road. Besides, environmental damages are also kept down to a minimum, for it is the most energy-efficient method to convey huge numbers of people from place to place.

In addition, there is often room for improvement when it comes to city planning. Better planning could make the best use of existing roads without further encroachment on the already scarce parks, gardens or squares. For instance, more underground car parks and overpasses should be built in order to reserve the ground for trees and gardens.

Lastly, more traffic wardens should be posted and traffic lights set up so as to regulate the flow of traffic, the result of which could be decrease in the number of traffic incidents because most accidents occur when the drivers decide to take chances as there is no policeman around. Pedestrians also need to be reminded to observe traffic rules by keeping to pavements and sidewalks.

Generally, most of human loss and property damage caused by traffic accidents are avoidable if people choose to give up a little bit of their convenience for the sake of others. Harmony can only be achieved by balancing the needs of all people.
