People should
be forced to travel by bicycle rather than by car for all short journeys. This
issue should be regulated by law in each city or even country where traffic
problems are really serious. Some measures should be taken to improve or even
solve this problem. Educationally, teachers could highlight how important is
using different ways of public transports to take care of the environment and
exalt how good is doing a bit of physical exercise, at least for a short
distance.
From my point
of view, for most of us, using cars even for shorts journeys is really comfortable.
First and foremost because we do not stop and think about traffic problems,
even the level of contamination is increasing in a very worrisome way, which
could be really dangerous for our health and this is only because we only look
for our own amenity, which could be due to a lacking consciousness about this
problem. Personally I think that a way to get people use bicycles or even go on
foot for short journeys can be installing cameras in a certain area of the city
to control the movements of cars in this area. If they do not respect the
specific laws in order to get this goal, drivers can be penalized.
Some people
love travelling by car because they think it is the most independent way of
travelling. Another group of citizens, the rich, can evaluate that walking for
short journeys could be stingy or a discredit but there is no evidence to
support it. I would like to mention people that are always protesting about the
traffic problems although they do not do anything to remedy them.
To sum up, we
could get people use bicycles for short distances hardening laws or even fines.
Informing citizens about optional ways of transportation through different mass
media or reinforcing consciousness from schools among other measures.
