  • cont.. dictate who should have access to these dwindling recources.No doubt we need to evalute how we live,more important we need to look at the people who make the decisions that effect our lives

  • kill em all with fire,. nah just kiding. We like to drive in our own cars because it gives us a sense of control,and an escape from our static lives.A world where we all have to que up on a conveyer belt like train or public transport mode of travelling while the elites are ferried about in their limos...we ll want the same thing freedom,of thought,movement,but only some of us can get it,others have to comprimise,and the least fortunate can not afford it, those at the "top" by birth try to

  • Look at Curitiba, Brazil. No cars, just frequent bus services. THis would work in any city but of course takes a very long time to put in place.

  • creative thinking ? i was at it all my life from m1952 long before his lateral thinking came to prominence in late 60's. As far as traffic congesion is concerened,there are seveal solutions but it mus be immediately applied.

    bring in law ro reduce the cars on road bycar sharing and concessions for such use reducing traffic and save petrol. I have many but this is suffice for now.

  • Flying Cars... or Teleporters

  • I accept your challenge 

  • year round employments.

  • Underground Roads.

  • make some slick, clean, safe public transit system

  • We could have tubes, tunnels, instead of roads, and you could hop into a little capsule,a nd with one push of a button, be v lined to your destination, safely and effectivly

  • Remove all traffic from major cities, (highly unlikely), and create some sort of constant steady moving public transportation that moves in one flow throught the city. Maybe in the future we could create some kind of tube system like they have in supermarkets where they put the money from their tills in those suction tubes which suck the containers to the office, haha

  • easy. allow the use of cars only under the condition of paying very high fees so only rich people can still use their own cars in those cities. use the money from those fees to afford better public transportation in form of busses and cabs for very low cost to the poorer ppl that cant afford the fees. outcome: the rich will have the luxury of travel while the poor can travel at very low cost (lower than if they had their own car now) and everyone is happy.

  • remove old cards and input public transport

  • energy saving public transportation.........

  • We must presume the reason for higher numbers of cars to exist there is, greater pop./wealth than prev, and one car per person, despite cars having a capacity for 2/4/5 (etc).

    There are a number of ways to reduce congestion; minimise the vehicular need (reduce travel distance home/work - build closer), make efficient use of pre-existing cars (car-pooling), or improve traffic flow to speed up movement (minimise blockages, eg traffic lights - replace with bridges).

    Simple overview.

  • I usded creative or lateral thinking when i was 4 years old. i still rememenr very well more than a decade before so called lateral thiniking was defined to similar thinking out side the normal thinking or outside the box if you call it.

  • Four steps:

    1. Tax usage of vehicles in congested zones by automatic tolls. Larger vehicles have higher taxes. Increase taxes on vehicle sales and resales, vehicle registration, and fuel.

    2. Redirect funds to a state of the art public transport system (Beijing has done this, Bangkok has not).

    3. Create specific lanes for buses only.

    4. Ensure public transport costs are affordable to all sectors of society via State subsidies and discounts to students, pensioners, children, etc.

  • make all roads like a conveyor belt. everyones cars just get strapped in or held down with chains or something like the semis that move cars use.. lol and the belt just moves at a respectable speed that will shorten trip distances and save gas and depending on where you live, you can have solar powered belts. so u can save energy and gas.

  • What you need at intersections is subterranean, or sky walk ways at intersections for the pedestrians. The for the automobile traffic, you need to build an elevated road surface that bridges over the intersection. That way, neither direction of traffic has to stop, thus improving traffic efficiency.

    To make this cheaper, you just need to employ similar building technology as used in multi-storey car parks, as it's a similar principle of structural mechanics.

  • Educate employers and allow work force to work from home.

    Promote local hot-desks to be available to employees so that they don't have to travel to work every day.

  • when all the bankok ppl are sleeping, change all their car doors to small triangles so its hard for them to get in.

  • A system in which you rent vehicles, and pay a small price for your journey. This exists only in cities, and is comparable to the trolley system in supermarkets. You can leave the cart in any of the designated spots (hooked up to electric chargers) and take a different one for the return journey.

  • i have one: WE CAN USE BYCICLES and reduce the distance into the cities, make better places

  • @elcorona870722,

    That's sort of impossible. The bikes could be used for intra-city travel, but automobiles would still be needed for travel to cities.

  • Comment removed

  • maybe we should just reduce population

  • tunnels for cars everywhere so you drive underground and get out at set points close to your area,(properly ventilated of course)and the cars could run on special tram lines that transfer power to the cars via a solar panel or wind generator above the tunnel,this would free up road space for more wind generators.;)

  • i like this.

    we can plant forests and grass on top so we can have our nature back :'(

  • That would just shift all the traffic down into the tunnel. I suggest we should use flyovers in conjunction with tunnels and roads. That would significantly reduce traffic and congestion.

  • the city could start lowering prices everywhere, cutting back business competition, thus cutting back individual working hours, thus having less traffic on the road. when u are starting to choke mother earth to death, u have to look at the root cause for all the hustle bustle: money. if everybody had to spend less...theyd also be driving less. there just wouldnt be an incentive. no one gets kicked to the curb, its a collective decision to just cut back in general. thus reducing traffic!

  • ENCOURAGE PUBLIC TRANSPORT

  • ELIMINATE BUSES AND OTHER LARGE PERSONALY USED VEHICLES THAT BLOCK TRAFFIC-RE-INTRODUCE RUNNING BOARDS ON CARS THE MANUFACTURING COST WOULD BE SOMEWHAT CONSIDERABLY LOWER THAN CREATING A WORLD OF FLYING CARS(not intended to offend).MORE ROUNDABOUTS?HAVING DIFFERENT OPENIG AND CLOSING TIMES FOR BUISNESSES TO BREAK UP "RUSH HOURS".

  • genocide

  • I'd say limit the child birth rate to 1 kid per person, in example, 2 parents could only have 2 kids. If they had any more, they were taxed all to hell. This would also help solve the over-population problem, as some families would only have one. If the two parents split, they could decide who's kid the one kid would count for in court.

  • bicycles for all!!!

  • Blow it all up

  • A desperate solution to that problem would be to become anorexic. The most desperate solution to that problem would be to drive smart cars.

  • if you got a suitcase thats too packed,too bursting at the straps,what do you do with it?

  • similar problem handling as above

  • I like the idea of morphing, or maybe re incarnation.. you know a toaster in the bath for breakfast then BAM! your away. If all of china make one big bath then that would also help the traffic in perth because everyone would be working up north for Rio Tinto... Flying cars! as if!!

  • The solution to traffic is similar to the solutions to all social problems.

    A society based on love instead of profit will not have traffic.

    This concept has been proven by cellular biologist / humanitarian Dr. Bruce Lipton.

    Please don't flame me until you watch and understand his videos regarding how cells in an organism are the model for a healthy society.

    Bill

  • One solution is to get more cars off the road. This can be done by adding a ton of taxes onto cars being sold. Another option is flying cars.

  • test

  • needed: creative thinker!

    No pay, volunteer work only..

    sorry, pm me

    :>

  • move to the country away from the city,that old saying out of sight out of mind. cars that when you go into them they shrink and become like orbs , this would b changing the physics and chemistry density, we could do it if we had a liquefied condenser photon machine i like the vertical city however the base wold have to be massive to have multi layers unless it was an upside down triangle that was in the earth its self? and then have another triangle on top of it , way thats cool :o)

  • One solution I can think of is to build cities the same way in which we build buildings, Vertically not horizontally. Build multi-layered cities, one "floor" above the other, and you'll have all the space you need for not only roads, but homes, schools, hospitals, shopping malls... everything!

  • but no sunlight

  • very good point

    One thing that I was thinking of as a solution, is to have screens, above you, facing the floor, so that if you look up, instead of seeing "the ceiling", you'd see a perfect, 3D image of the sky.

    this way, every level would "look like" the ground level of a normal city, with a sky high above it, instead of a low ceiling.

    If this is done effectively enough, people wouldn't notice the difference much.

    And as for the the real sun... perhaps it's part of the price of modernity?

  • I assume they can't just build more road. Encourage public transportation. Set up a reward system for people who take buses, trains, and maybe even walking. Maybe set up a system that can control the direction of cars. If one road is building traffic, a flashing sign tells cars to try a detour route. Cars could have a GPS system that informs drivers of build up. Drivers have the responsibilit to find a better route to keep a nice flow going.

  • Does anyone think of walking and talking to people anymore as a good way of living?

    Thousands of years ago it would take months to see a childhood friend, traveling weeks to arrive at his home town to talk about life and its mysteries of good and bad.

    Unfortunately , it seems , those days are gone, when people can accept good and bad. Life itself is so special.

  • Well, assuming that I have an unlimited budget Id go with...electrical roads.

    With electrical roads, vehicles would be able to move at over 100 MPH with little to no accident rates since all is already controlled by a computer system.

    No crashes. And the ability to move as fast as possible.

  • more trams,trains even planes.yes planes.the mini planes

  • edwdebono dot com is still accessable.

  • The website doesn't exist anymore

  • the thought police took it down :)
