Moscow region in Russia has started tackling to the transport problems. Actually more than 2,500 people are killed in traffic accidents in a year in this region and it is said that the total monetary annual loss can be 1 billion dollars. This paper introduces the traffic situation in Moscow and analyzes the cause and countermeasures. The causes of traffic congestion are classified into three categories: "Problems on drivers' behavior", "problems in transport system" and "problems in social system." And the countermeasures are classified into three categories: "traffic regulation improvement", "infrastructure improvement" and "control and user education." It was found that in the long run they have to construct plenty of infrastructures but on the other hand there exist plenty of devices or ideas to improve traffic situation in short term.
