    Transportation is one of the most important technological ways to arrive faster from place to another .Its plays a vital role in today’s world and has a deep impact on almost all spheres of human activity including leisure, tourism, supplies and business .In Egypt, we have lots of transportation issues that need to be solved. Firstly, traffic congestion and parking difficulties. Congestion is one of the most prevalent transport problems in large urban agglomerations, usually above a threshold of about 1 million inhabitants. It is particularly linked with motorization and the diffusion of the automobile, which has increased the demand for transport infrastructures. Results suggest that people report making Behavioral adaptations as a consequence of worry about accidents and unpleasant incidents. This is particularly true for private means of transport as well as walking. This might be because private means of transport are more flexible, making it easier to choose another route or to travel at a different time .The regression models for each transport moderated moderately well and explained between 15% and 35% of the variance in behavioral adaptations .As measured by the size of the standardized regression coefficients, worry about accidents and worry about incidents are among the most important predictors of behavioral adaptations. This is not surprising as both the specificity and the semantic content of the measures are at the same level. However, the fact that the relationship between worry and behavioral adaptations is significant also when other factors are controlled for suggests that this relationship is not spuriously inflated (confounded) by stable individual differences. Thus, worry seems to have an independent contribution to explaining behavioral adaptations. Moreover, worry about accidents predicted behavioral adaptations on car, bicycle, and motorcycle, where as worry about unpleasant incidents predicted behavioral adaptations on…
