Methods that are incorporated are car pools, public transportation, redesigning roads, and traffic signs.

Widening the roads by adding lanes lets more vehicles go in a certain direction at one time. Building more roads and bypasses (usually a bridge like structure that leads to major highways) helps take traffic out of cities. This makes traffic in the city less hectic and easily to maintain. The major roads that run parallel to the cities are usually called interstates. These roads allow traffic to move at a non-stop pace. The speed limit is usually faster, but the police are always ready with a ticket if a vehicle is caught over the limit.

The colors on a traffic light are for the most part green to go, red to stop and yellow for caution. There is usually a plan for the timing of the lights. Devices in the road signal a computer how many vehicles are using the road at any given time. The computer can make the timing of the lights follow the amount of traffic. This allows heavily traveled roads the right of way longer.
