This factor triggers most of the diseases plausible from traffic but mostly, it generates impatience and insensitivity of drivers. It also produces fatigue and anxiety due to thinking of the upcoming traffic on the next day, prodding one’s self to wake up early which is stressful for the body to catch up.

2.       Muscle pain

This is usually for drivers since they use their feet to hit brake and hand to handle the clutch. The inconsistency of shifts and prolonged lock (unmoving) of joints and muscles can cause joint problems. Posture is possible to become a problem because of the long wait inside a cramped vehicle and impatient leaning to the window.

3.       Heart Diseases

Traffic causes heart diseases due to air pollution it forms which the drivers and passerbys inhales and the noise pollution. Noise pollution tend to scare or pressure those with weak hearts. Due to the stress and anger building up, it weakens and degenerates one’s heart. 

4.      Respiratory Problems

We all know that smoke belching contains hazardous gases which causes air pollution. Too much exposure to such smoke makes a person prone to respiratory diseases such as asthma, bronchitis, and in the long term exposure – lung cancer.

5.       Psychological and Mental Problems

Traffic can affect the mentality and perspective of the person. Waking up every day just to meet traffic jam and insensitivity of other cars can alter one’s behavior and worsen their view in life. Studies say that this can cause depression and attention problems among children due to polluted air and Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease to adults. This can be caused by stress and sleep deprivation.
