Evaluation and Mitigation of Traffic Related Concerns in Kathmandu Valley

Physics and Society 2023-06-13 v1

Abstract

Motor cars are more prevalent on the highways of major cities like Kathmandu as a result of the raging increase in urban population. As a result, the residents of this city are accustomed to experiencing frequent traffic jams. The fact that every person is forced to spend an average of 120 hours a year doing nothing productive due to traffic congestion makes this very clear. Evidently, identifying the problem does not always result in a fix. However, creating intelligent traffic management systems with intelligent traffic signals and early warning systems could be a successful substitute. Furthermore, creative road engineering, as demonstrated by features like road diet and roundabouts, is a popular treatment. However, the primary issue is the preference for private vehicles over public transportation. It can definitely help to reduce these worries to cultivate a society-friendly mentality along with effective, inventive approaches.
