llowed days” to drive but it would also reduce pollution rates, and make people transport faster to their homes or works. Like I mentioned before, dependence on somebody else’s those days that drivers are not allowed to drive would be the only bad side of the solution. People would need to realize that the advantages are greater than the disadvantages. Even though they are not in short term, I believe there are more solutions to the problem. One more possible solution would be the construction of an upper highway, as Brazil has in Rio do Janeiro. This double floor highway was very effective solving their lack of space problem between the mountains and the sea. The new artery should be built above the old one and it will double the lanes available for cars. It would also have to be taken into account that in order to build this second floor highway the present traffic should be interrupted and it would cause serious problems during the years of construction. This highway could not be constructed in few years and the cost is extremely high, that is a big disadvantage. The last most feasible solution to this problem is the expansion of the railroad. A clear example is what we find in Paris, where people don’t worry about using cars and polluting the city. The railroad runs always on time and to any location passengers would please to go, and it is not a matter of traffic conditions to arrive on time, there a subway schedule that provides departure and arrival times without major time differences to the actual time. The disadvantages of this solution are money and time. It would take a long time and high amounts of money to built the facilities. An effective public transportation is unavoidable in mayor cities, as it is Atlanta. An adequate transportation should be built soon due to the fact that drivers are getting tremendously frustrated and the amount of pollution is reaching its limits.After analyzing the solutions, I ...
