Besides a few notable exception (which don\u2019t happen by magic by the way) all major cities worldwide are <strong>heavily affected by traffic jams and high level of pollutions<\/strong>, not to mention the 14% contribution of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/ghgemissions\/global-greenhouse-gas-emissions-data#Sector\">transport sector to climate change<\/a>. Actually simple and fast solutions do exist and are easy to implement from the legislator\u2019s side, while we as citizens can certainly do our share. Let\u2019s see how.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"350\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7998\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.traveleurope.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/traffic.jpg\" alt=\"traffic\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.traveleurope.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/traffic.jpg 620w, https:\/\/blog.traveleurope.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/traffic-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s begin with simple<strong> circulation taxes<\/strong>. Say a city wants less &#8211; or cleaner &#8211; vehicles in a certain area, it just applies an entry tax (technically called pollution-charge or congestion charge). Theoretically the amount of this charge should be calculated on the basis of the number of vehicles (or pollution) you want to be on the road. So, if Milan and London for instance have had sensible declines (around 15%) in their circulating vehicles and air pollution since they introduce an entry tax of few Euro to access their city centers\u2026 on the other side of the world, <a href=\"https:\/\/simple.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/List_of_countries_by_population_density\">one of the most crowded places on earth<\/a>, Singapore, managed to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tradingeconomics.com\/singapore\/car-registrations\">cut by three its number of cars<\/a>, but regulators had to raise taxes to dozens of thousand of dollars per year to achieve this. In fact, today only 15% of the population in Singapore owns a private car while the huge revenues of the tax allow to finance one of the best public transport systems in the world.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"350\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7994\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.traveleurope.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/electric-cars.jpg\" alt=\"electric-cars\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.traveleurope.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/electric-cars.jpg 620w, https:\/\/blog.traveleurope.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/electric-cars-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The <strong>rise of electric vehicles<\/strong> had been impressive in the last years (<a href=\"http:\/\/evobsession.com\/us-electric-car-sales-13-october-26-year\/\">+26% in the US in 2016<\/a>), mainly thanks to fast developing technologies which allow to store more electric power at lesser costs.

For the longer term, also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/selfdrivingcar\/\">self driving cars<\/a> will surely redefine the mobility in our cities.<\/p>\n<p>If the first solution is solely in the hand of our legislators, we also have to admit the latter two options still sound a little bit sci-fi today.
