Traffic congestion.

Recently I was reminded that even the wealthy First World countries, the supply of human, physical and financial is great, while the demands for these resources are unlimited. Such is the issue of traffic congestion in many areas in Georgia, where traffic demand is far greater than the capacity of existing roadways. One factor that contributed to this congestion is the time structure of the demand for using the roadways.

We should remember that the usage of our roads has increased since 1996 with an increase of car ownership and the lack of a good public transportation system. These congestions cause an increase in fuel costs, stressed and frustrated motorists encourage road -rage, and consequently reduce health.

What we should call for is a bus lane instead of a HOV lane. more Park and Ride. Then and only then, will Georgia be on the road to overcome these congestions.
