Traffic and parking

Traffic and parking problems are two of the most important problems in the world. Abu Dhabi the capital of the UAE was affected and is still affected until now by this problem. In this essay I will mention the causes of this problem and I will try to find some solution.

However, first of all the main cause is the increasing population. In 1970 the population was around 700,000 people, but now in 2010 is about 45, 00,000 people. Another problem is there are more taxis and at the same time more tourists. A further problem is the younger female drivers and that is because of the system of the police issuing the license at 18 years old. In addition, because of the industrial development and the need to transfer the materials from place to place they need more commercial trucks and vans.

The first solution is to have different kinds of transportation for instance to built the metro like in Dubai and that will decrease traffic congestion. The second solution is we try to find spaces to build parking or underground parking. Another solution is to educate the people for example about how to park their cars in an appropriate way without disturb the others. Another solution is the police department should increase the cost of cars registration.

In conclusion, nowadays vehicles are very important to the people. In my opinion the best solution is to put a rule which says each house must have one car only. It will be difficult in the beginning even for me, but we will get used to it in the future.

Dangerous storms

The table demonstrates some details about two powerful storms, hurricanes and tornadoes. Bothe is unsafe and destructive and there are many remarkable differences between them.

First all, the maximum speed of tornadoes is 250-300 mph, whereas the maximum speed of hurricanes is around 155-200 mph. On the other hand the minimum speed of hurricanes about 74 mph, is higher than that of a tornado 40 mph. The tornadoes are classified on the Fujita FO F5 scale, while the hurricanes are recorded on the Seffir Simpson C1 scale. Hurricanes last for a few minutes until few hours. A tornado can be predicated around 20 minutes or less in advance, but hurricanes can be predicted 2 or 3 days in advance in an open area and 6-10 hours in a close area. A hurricane affects a larger area than a tornado.

Overall, tornadoes are more dangerous than hurricanes because we cannot predict them easily.
