  ⑴Traffic is one of the essential activities for our city. ⑵Every day, by various means of transportation, heavy loads of goods and a great number of passengers are conveyed to and from every corner of our city. ⑶With the modernization drive in full swing, traffic has been lending greater impact on our life. ⑷What a mess the city would be in, if the arteries of such vital importance were out of action even for a minute.
  ⑸Owing to the major part it plays, traffic has long been a serious concern for the municipal government.⑹Over recent years, new bus routes have been opened to traffic and new vehicles put in service; many underpasses and overpasses have been built to ease out the bottlenecks. ⑺Meanwhile, new traffic projects are under consideration.
   ⑻Despite all these efforts, traffic remains one of the biggest headaches of our city. ⑼Traffic jams during rush hours, bus delays and frays are part of our life. ⑽In addition, traffic accidents occur with alarming frequency, resulting in heavy losses in both property and lives. ⑾Only when these problems are effectively solved, will our city be able to survive the nation-wide competition and function as an economic center.
