Traffic in our country makes me crazy. I spent one hour drive to work every day. Our road not very big and not very small, but sometime it makes me stuck many hours. The problem is not all about the road, but it is also about the driver. There are many reasons that make traffic jam in our country. Firstly, the increasing number of people and transportation; nowadays the number of people living in the city has dramatically increased very quickly because some people come to do business and some others come to continue their educational study. According to the statistic published on the website of Phnom Penh City Hall shows that, numbers of people in Phnom Penh are 1,501,725(Tuesday, 28-Jan-2014). This huge number of people generate overload vehicle on the streets. Imagine if one people have one vehicle; the traffic will be terrible, right? Secondly is disobeying of the traffic Laws and circular of city hall; breaking the traffic laws and the circular of city hall cause traffic accident and traffic jams. Some people do not know much about how to obey the traffic laws while traffic policemen are also not committed to appropriate implement the existing traffic laws. Some people do not obey the traffic light or traffic sign. Some car’s owner parking their car on street side along the road; these are the main causes of traffic jams. Moreover, some restaurants that are running businesses along the roads do not have parking lot for their guests so that their guests’ vehicles to park on the road sides; leading to become narrow roads and traffic jams. Truly, Traffic jams are the major concern for people because it heavily affects to people’s life in the city. Therefore, we together should obey the traffic laws and respect each other while traveling on the street in order to reduce traffic jams in our city. Last but not least is repairing and constructing the drainage system, road and bridge; many roads in Phnom Penh are narrow. Some of them are under repairing such the drainage system. Not only is that, bridges also under construction. The continuous processes of road and bridges repairing and constructing are the causes of traffic jams. Our country is the developing country so there are many roads, bridges to be built. Furthermore, majority of roads in the city are not divided or separated from each other; for instance, walking side, motor side and car side. In conclusion as a Cambodian people we should help our country. Some of this problem can be solved by us. One person makes a big change. Love our country, Help our country!
