For a stress-free living, one must also have the option of a traffic-free residential areas. Recognising the profound impact of traffic on a person’s physical and mental well-being, living in a place where transportation is free from such constraints is a true blessing. Being held up in constant traffic can lead to stress, respiratory issues and even heart problems. Not to mention the economic losses, such as wasted time, fuel, productivity, and environmental damage. There are even safety risks when there is recurrent standstill traffic daily during one’s commute.
So, what is the best thing to do in this situation? One is, of course, being more mindful of the problem and using public transportation rather than personal vehicles for daily commutes.
