Ban traffic.Does anyone know how the traffic from Huntington Beach to Torrance is during rush hour?
Improve transit. In BC you can get a bus pass cheap,,Seniors pay $45 00 a year. and we get free ferry ridesStagger work hours so people can show up at 10 and leave at 6, or show up at 7 and leave at 3; that would take a lot of rush hour traffic off the roads. Let people work weekends and get 2 week days off, that would get some more traffic off. Synchronize traffic lights on major arterial streets so they can carry a smooth flow of traffic--every needless red light, every needless stop, eats up petroleum and pumps out needless pollution.

Working from home, a computer and internet connection.Where can i print a subway train?
All major Interstates should have routes around major metropolitan areas. Why should we have all these OTR truckers driving through the middle of rush hour traffic if they are not even delivering anything to the city they are stuck in? Some cities do have this, and it makes the city centers a bit better since at least the coast to coast trucks aren't driving through the narrow downtown areas that most major freeways seem to traverse.I'm gonna state the obvious and say , fewer cars !!
All of the above, plus incentives to carpool or use (hopefully improved) mass transit. Widening highways, new highways, more limited access routes around cities and towns for through traffic. There are many things that can be done, but all cost money. If you are going to see improvement, you are going to have to pay higher taxes or tolls.

Making better use of the commercial ports around the UK whats the point of unloading 200 containers at Newhaven when say half need to go to the Midlands send them by sea further along the coast then unload them.
A decent public transport system would also help.

Ever ponder the mind set of the person who made up road signs?
Stopping grants given to big foriegn companies who build on greenfield land & entice the government with jobs & manufacturing output would be a start. As would people wanting to live 'out of town' while working in the city.Congestion occurs simply because at 8 am, tens of thousands of people need to be somewhere else & at 5pm, they all want to go home. No public transport system in the world can cope with this reality & if they tried, the roads would be just as blocked with buses as they are with cars now.
Get a job 5 miutes walk from home is the only answer.
Is your gas station and mechanic environmentally responsible?
Scooter. Practical, cheap and fun as you can whizz in and out through all the stationary cars on the congested roads.Anyone here all ways looking for the cheapest petrol station to buy your fuel?
may be if they sort out public transport it mite help then agian you mite have to sit next to a rite nutter thats why so many ppl use their own carStop peoples addiction to cars. They are a drug and too many people are addicts. Like junkies they are selfish and care nothing for those they affect by their actions. Like junkies they will say/do anything to justify themselves. Unrestricted car use is socially and environmentally unsustainable - just don't expect any politician to do anything about it!
How does everyone feel about the price of gas going back up?
Start a lobby group to get your local bus company to make the fare for persons over 49 years of age to be 25 cents. This will take a lot of old slow drivers off the streets. If the bus routes are not very good, they can put their bicycles in a rack on the front of the bus. The exercise will do them good.My speedometer is off, how do I figure out what my actual speed is?
We have the worst congestion in Europe and the worst Rail and bus systems with the highest prices.yet the government thinks pricing will change our minds.It is nothing more than a revenue raising scheme.People have to get to work and public transport is too slow, too expensive and inadequate.it is time they bit the bullet and made some decent investment in our public transport infrastructure so we have got a proper integrated transport system.My daughter lives in Basle Switzerland where the transport system is amazing.Trams go everywhere, every 7 minutes and they have double Decker trains.Lots of people there don't bother owning a car and traffic is very light.If she wants to go skiing she gets the train because it is fast and cheap enough.
Why the hell is gas so damn expensive?
But of course all we get here is excuses.We cannot use double Decker trains because the Victorian bridges are too low - how absurd! Cyclists cannot ride to the station use the train and cycle to work at the other end because there is no room for their bike - how absurd! The bus journey of 3 miles to my work takes 1 hour - how absurd.
Right turn on red? why do people stay in the outside lane when approaching a red light?
I agree with the suggestions from other answers about time shifting and junction improvements etc but it is high time the government provided a viable alternative.If Tony Blair really wanted to leave a legacy he should have bit the bullet with transport instead of nannying us.
