“…Additionally, pedestrian and cyclist accommodations, along with synchronized signal networks, contribute to smoother traffic flow and reduced congestion at intersections. Traffic congestion significantly impacts pollution levels through increased vehicle emissions and inefficient traffic flow [8], worsening air quality and environmental conditions in urban settings. Efficient traffic management strategies, such as optimized signal timings and enhanced public transportation [7], help alleviate congestion, reduce idling time, and ultimately lower pollution levels.…”

Traffic congestion in India's densely populated urban centres is a major challenge exacerbated by rapid urbanization and a surge in vehicles surpassing infrastructure growth. Gridlocks and slow-moving vehicles are common due to inadequate road networks and poorly planned intersections, leading to longer commutes, productivity loss, and heightened pollution and safety concerns. Mitigation efforts include infrastructure upgrades and sustainable transportation promotion, implementing Indian Road Congress (IRC) signal design guidelines for intersection optimization and traffic flow management. Pedestrian safety remains critical, requiring comprehensive strategies integrating public transportation enhancement, road infrastructure optimization, and alternative travel modes promotion. Utilizing advanced technology for traffic monitoring, alongside urban planning initiatives prioritizing efficient land use and mixed-use developments, is crucial. Furthermore, policies promoting telecommuting and flexible work schedules can help alleviate the burden of peak-hour traffic. Flyovers offer relief by allowing vehicles to bypass congested areas, improving traffic flow. Congestion indirectly contributes to pollution, emphasizing the importance of catalytic converters in reducing harmful emissions from vehicle exhaust. This comprehensive approach aims to create smoother and more sustainable transportation systems while addressing congestion and pollution issues effectively.
