Traffic congestion occurs when there are more vehicles on the road than the road's carrying capacity can handle, resulting in slow travel speeds and long vehicle queues. Singapore attempts to manage congestion by using the concept of carrying capacity to identify its causes, such as too many vehicles for the road infrastructure, and implementing policies like electronic road pricing to regulate vehicle volume.
