"On Balmer Island, where mopeds serve as a popular form of transportation, the population increases to 100,000 during the summer months. To reduce the number of accidents involving mopeds and pedestrians, the town council of Balmer Island should limit the number of mopeds rented by the island's moped rental companies from 50 per day to 25 per day during the summer season. By limiting the number of rentals, the town council will attain the 50 percent annual reduction in moped accidents that was achieved last year on the neighboring island of Seaville, when Seaville's town council enforced similar limits on moped rentals."
Write a response in which you discuss what questions would need to be answered in order to decide whether the recommendation is likely to have the predicted result. Be sure to explain how the answers to these questions would help to evaluate the recommendation.
The major question which the town council of Balmer Island faces is how to reduce the number of accidents involving mopeds and pedestrians on Balmer Island. The recommendation given by the town council of Balmer Island to reduce the number of accident might not have the predicted result.
As mopeds are the major sources of communication in town and also most of the accident of pedestrian is because of mopeds according to the report thus, town has to reduce the use of mopeds. To overcome this problem the town council of Balmer Island recommended to limit the number of mopeds rented by the island's moped rental companies from 50 per day to 25 per day during the summer season. This recommendation is based on the results which have been seen on Seaville Island. The town council of Seaville Island by limiting the number of rentals reduced the 50 percent annual reduction in mopeds. By seeing a positive result at one place one should not take decision because it might be wrong sometimes.
The recommendation to limit the number of mopeds might not be useful and also has some drawback. It would not be useful if a person would buy a moped instead of rent it. Here, council could not ask a mopeds companies to not to sell the mopeds. Disadvantage by doing so is for the rental companies which will go in loss. Also author said that mopeds is the major mode of communication in town so by limiting the number of mopeds rented in another way we are creating a problem for the peoples who live in Balmer Island.
We can solve this problem by introducing a strict traffic rule, by constructing a proper street for pedestrians and a proper signal for pedestrians on road crossing and on busy roads.
In summary, by a seeing a positive result on Seaville Island, council should not make decision. Instead of limiting the number of mopeds rented council have to recommend a proper traffic rule to reduce the number of accident.
