Due to City Road catering for a wide selection of people, there is an unfair division of parking spaces and problems with traffic congestion. This affects local residents on a daily basis, as well as many outsiders travelling to use amenities within City Road.

This also results in unlawful parking by non-residents due to shortage of space.

China's big cities, the increase of population and vehicles, are one of the reasons that led to the traffic congestion. With the further prosperity of the economy, the price of the car is also cheaper, low threshold for the purchase of vehicles, people have more vehicles, and the pressure of the road also causes vehicle increase. Driving (including public transport vehicles) do not obey the traffic rules, and some people mess running red lights, ignore traffic rules, as the red light furnishings, some car parking chaos in the already wide road, leading to traffic jams sometimes appear slightly touch the car, each side will accuse each other, ignoring the problem because they caused traffic jams, traffic problems because a small quarrel, alarm.

I feel that prohibition was unnecessary and did more bad than good. Prohibition actually increased the amount of alcohol in some places. It also led to more substance related deaths. Another downside to prohibition was that law enforcement officers became so worried about alcohol consumption that much unneeded time and money was spent on the issue.
