traffic in Abu Dhabi

Nowadays, many large cities likes Abu Dhabi suffer from traffic congestion and there are many causes and solutions, which I am going to write about.
The first problem that causes traffic is the growing population, for example the numbers of cars per house hold. Another problem is economic development, for example export of oil. A further problem is construction, for example built new large builds without parking which causes heavy traffic. One more problem is many young drivers cause accidents; why ? Because they don’t have good driving education. Another problem is concentration of firms and colleges in one area; for example Khalife Street has several firms such as Al Salam hospital, National Bank of Abu Dhabi and the University of the Emirates. Finally, nowadays a lot of large buildings are built without parking, for example Hamden Street's buildings and Khalifa Street's buildings.
One solution to reduce the traffic congestion is to improve the existing system, for example skyline. Another solution is to the limit number of cars per house hold. A further solution is introducing staggered hours, for example not all people should start working at 8.0' clock. Another solution is to educate drivr and have a stiffer test. Another solution is paid parking; for example build underground parking and Mwagaf paid parking. Also there is another solution, relocation firms, for example the new women's college in Khalife city A and Yas city recreational. Another solution is people should use the public transport such as taxics and buses. Finally, people should got more fines and black points for offences.
As we have seen, these are several solution, but the three most viable solutions are relocation the concentration of firms, staggered hours and paid parking.

Problems and Solutions in Weight

Nowadays many people in the UAE are obese or very weight. In this time there are different kinds of fast food restaurants. I am going to write about the problem and suggest solutions.
The main reason for this problem is lack of exercise. This means lots of people don’t play sport. However the government builds many places that people can use for sport such as running, cycling and basketball. Another problem is some people over eat; for example at the lunch time they eat fat food mixing it with types of sugary food. Furthermore they are a number of new restaurants, for example McDonald’s, Burger King, KFC and Dunkin' Donuts. Finally, many people comfort eat, for example when they are sad they eat a lot.
One solution is to reduce the weight. This can be done by eating fruit and vegetables. However there are some kinds of restaurants which sell healthier food such as Subway. Another possible solution is health clubs where people can do exercise, for example the Gulf Healthy Club and the horse riding club. A further solution to reduce weight is to educate people to control eating, for example by TV and reading books. Finally, people should go to the doctor to have routine medical checks.
As you have seen, these are some ideas to help solve the problem. The most viable solution is eating healthy food, taking exercise and routine medicals.
