In the France, the idea that the city of the future should be compact, so as to make an efficient use of resources, specially land and energy. The most public transport is a new fully automatized railway around the city of Pairs, called Arc Express. Most cities are moving towards more "ecological" public transport systems, for example buses running on biofuel or batteries, and even obliging people to use them by restricting using of private vehicles.
Schwerin is the capital and second largest city of the north Germany, with a population around 10 0000. Schwerin has 4 tram lines and 16 bus route, public transport is first choice for Schwerin people. Because the German federal government more than doubled gasoline taxes between 1990 to 2007. Local cities and regions in Germany have introduced measures like car-free pedestrian zones, limited car parking, and high parking fees to nudge people out of private car.
In my opining, Australia should rise gasoline taxes even car taxes as well. In Austrlia, car was very cheap anyone can bought it, that will increase carbon emission. Australia's emissions of carbon dioxide during te past 25 years have risen at almost twice the world average rate. Road transport was the main source of transport emissions in 2007, accounting for 68.5Mt CO2 or 11.5% of national emissions. Passenger cars were the largest transport source, contributing 41.9 Mt CO2.
The traffic jam is really a big problem for Phnom Penh, since most roads are not available for more expansion, whereas the population of city keeps increasing along with the purchasing of more motors and cars for their own travels since public transportations are not yet available.
-Road expansion
-All pwer cables to go underground to clear the airspace for high-rise buildings or future skytrain
-Create a decent inner city public transport services, too many those bike and tricylce that don't follow traffic rules are too dangerous
-Traffic lane function division,such as bus lane, bicycle lane
