Road traffic badly effects the environment

Bad effects

1) Gases from the exhausts of vehicles can damage our health
2) Gases from the exhausts of vehicles contribute to global warming
3) Traffic noise is disturbing for people and animals
4) Much valuable land is lost when car parks and roads are made
5) More traffic, more dangerous roads
6) More polluting gases are released into the atmosphere by standing traffic

Good survey


Above is an example of a simple traffic survey taken outside a school.

Do not try to conduct a real traffic survey unless you are accompanied by an adult such as a teacher or a parent.Taking a survey is not a game, and always behave safely and wear bright coloured clothing.
