Vấn đề giao thông phổ biến nhất ở các thành phố trên thế giới là tắc đường. Sao Paulo ở Brazil có tình trạng tắc đường hàng ngày tồi tệ nhất thế giới. Theo báo cáo, kỷ lục tắc nghẽn lịch sử được thiết lập vào ngày 1 tháng 6 năm 2012, với 295 km phương tiện xếp hàng quanh thành phố trong giờ cao điểm buổi tối. Một số thành phố lớn khác cũng bị ùn tắc nghiêm trọng vào giờ cao điểm.
Nguyên nhân chính của vấn đề giao thông này là do sự gia tăng dân số ở các thành phố lớn. Vì vậy, số lượng người sử dụng các con đường đã tăng lên nhiều lần. Nguyên nhân thứ hai là đường hẹp và đôi khi không đủ tốt. Ngoài ra, nhiều người đi đường không tôn trọng luật lệ giao thông. Kết quả là, vấn đề này ngày càng trở nên tồi tệ hơn.
