Improving the flow of traffic starts with the improved design of road infrastructure.

For areas with traffic lights already installed, work on timing the signal changes to ensure efficient flow.

For new designs of roadways, or for intersections undergoing construction, begin incorporating roundabouts. During power outages, the traffic can still move freely and they reduce the idling time of cars. Also add speed bumps before entering a roundabout if there is a concern for high speed moving vehicles.

To improve highway traffic, please enforce the passing lane only law! Many drivers seem to have forgotten or completely ignore the fact that the left lane is a passing lane and should only be used for passing a slower moving vehicle. First offences should be a verbal warning, and if a repeat offender is caught, then fines should be distributed. Additionally, more signage can be added to the existing mediums on highways. Use the space to remind drivers of the law and move over to the right lane if they notice a faster moving vehicle in their rear-view mirror.

Improve the safety and reliability of the transit network. Add more bus routes and make buses more reliable as per their intended schedules.

Finally, high speed rail between big cities should be prioritized. Adding frequent train service between large cities and focusing on the "first and last mile connectivity", meaning adding public transport service to encourage citizens to use public transport when getting to and from work or other short strips.
