Abstract

Urban traffic and transport is a global problem, especially in developing countries where basic transport infrastructure is not sufficiently built. Kabul is the capital of a war-torn country, where transport is among the major problems for the lives of its inhabitants. Kabul is one of the world's fast-growing cities [1]. Central and Local agencies are not capable of meeting such a rapid increase. Traffic congestion affects not only the movement of the city's inhabitants, but also directly affects the health of the residents and causes environmental issues. One of the main causes of transport problem is the lack of public transport in the city. As a result, the number of passenger cars in the city is growing, intersections are not built multilevel, traffic regulations are not observed, land is used illegally … The objective of this research paper is identification of the main problems, evaluation of the obtained data, proposing possible solutions that will help to reduce the current complications in Kabul transportation system.
