Abstract - Road traffic has increased exponentially in recent years, leading to issues including traffic jams, delays, collisions, and environmental damage. In both wealthy and emerging nations, traffic congestion is a real annoyance to society. It impacts users of both private and public transportation, and in addition to reducing economic efficiency, it has a host of detrimental social effects. This study reviews the several variables that contribute to traffic congestion, identifies the causes, and presents the effects of the congestion. The main approaches and corrective actions taken by different researchers and the government are examined. It is determined that the rise in the number of private vehicles per km is the most frequent cause of traffic jams. The primary causes of the congestion issue have been recognized as the vehicle to road capacity ratio, inadequate geometrical characteristics, poor lane discipline, insufficient road capacity for peak hour traffic, roadside parking, poor urban system planning, etc.

The most obvious result of congestion is longer travel times, particularly during rush hours. Moreover, drivers become agitated and behave violently when circulation moves slowly. It also leads to health issues and a rise in environmental problems. Positive outcomes in the form of less traffic, shorter travel times, and more effective traffic flow on city roadways are the aim of this review study.
