0:00 0:00
Transcript
Traffic congestion significantly impacts daily commuting by increasing stress levels and contributing to health issues. Commuters face psychological strain, often feeling anxious and frustrated due to delays, which can lead to decreased satisfaction with their commuting experience[2][5][7]. Long periods in traffic also contribute to health problems such as respiratory issues from increased pollution exposure[4][9]. Additionally, congestion can result in substantial economic costs, with lost time and fuel waste estimated to exceed $100 billion annually in the U.S. alone[7][9].
