High per capita automobile travel, automotive-oriented land use patterns, and few transportation alternatives contribute to private transportation dependency. Consumers, society and the economy are all affected by automobile dependency as it gives motorists more mobility and convenience. It raises transportation costs and resource consumption for customers, and it necessitated primary financial and land resources for road construction. It increases traffic congestion, roadway risk, and environmental concerns by providing paring facilities. It makes other means of transportation less viable, resulting in more scattered land use and mobility-intensive economic patterns that necessitate more automobile travel for access, most economists and policymakers believe that a balanced transportation system with more varied travel pattern is ideal for developed and developing countries. Since transportation is an important economic sector, it impacts almost every sector. Public policies influence transportation decisions and behaviors in a variety of ways. Many current policies encourage automobiles, such as public spending on roads and traffic services, ample parking regulations, attractive pricing policies, and land use scaled for automotive mobility Keywords: Car Dependency, Road Capacity, Private Transportation, Traffic Congestion, Road Pricing ER -
