In 2025, urban transportation has seen a significant shift due to technological advancements and policy changes. Increased adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and autonomous driving systems has led to changes in traffic patterns across major cities. While congestion remains a challenge, efforts to modernize infrastructure are showing promising results.

Key Developments in Traffic Systems:

  • Integration of smart traffic signals to reduce bottlenecks.
  • Expansion of car-sharing and ride-hailing services, leading to fewer privately owned vehicles.
  • Widespread introduction of green lanes for electric vehicles and bicycles.
