First, There are too many road works at the same time, so most of the main roads are partially or totally closed, forcing the cars to take alternative roads, and because these alternative roads are not prepared to receive that many cars, accidents can happen. The traffic authorities have to plan ahead before any road work, and have to choose the proper alternative roads, and publish those alternative roads on newspapers or another media, so that the drivers would know in advance which road to take.
Second, There are too many road works because elections for new district authorities are coming soon, and some district authorities want to be re elected for another period, so they do road works to get more votes (road works that should have been done a long time ago).
Third, most of the drivers in the public transportation system do not have the proper driver license, and in some cases they drive awful. Public transportation buses race between them in order to get more passengers making the streets more dangerous.
Fourth, There are too many cars circulating on the streets, and some of them are very old, or don't work properly. They should be removed from the streets. The traffic authorities have to take care of that.
And Fifth, All the people involved in the traffic system has to make an effort to obey all traffic laws. Here in Lima Peru, most people (pedestrians and drivers) don't obey traffic laws.
These are some pictures of traffic jams in Lima Peru.
You can see a traffic jam in a tunnel with a public transportation bus that is not allowed to be there, an intersection with drivers that do not respect each other, a road work causing a traffic jam, and a public transportation bus going the wrong way.
Remember People, obey all traffic laws and drive safely!
