This scientific work analyzes the problem of traffic congestion in the cities of Uzbekistan, in particular in Tashkent. The study examined the main causes of traffic congestion as the rapid growth of the number of cars, the insufficient development of the public transport system, the limited capabilities of the city's infrastructure, and shortcomings in the transport management system. The results show that a comprehensive approach is needed to reduce traffic congestion, in which the development of public transport, the introduction of intelligent transport systems, improved urban planning, and measures to manage transport demand play an important role.
