In the hours 7:30 to 9:30 and 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. most arteries are congested, congestion occurring major and temporary traffic jams. In recent studies conducted, the number of parking spaces in peripheral arteries is provided at a rate of 12% - 23%, other vehicles pull up on the street lining the roadway narrowing further. From 1992 to 2011 the appropriate road surface of a vehicle decreased to 7.2 times. From 1992 to 2011 the appropriate road surface of a vehicle decreased to 7.2 times. In many areas of Bucharest traffic increase is not directly proportional to increasing motorization in Bucharest. This increase was influenced by administrative decisions insufficiently studied?
