Great investments and great plans. It will certainly helps reduce traffic congestion. With this in mind, the Cambodian authority must plan properly for future cities. Public parks and big streets must be planned properly. Nowadays, cities like Camko City and Grand Phnom Penh International City had very narrow streets.
