Is this a dangling participle?

Hello, Farid, and welcome to the Grammar Exchange.

I came across this sentence, and I do not know if it is a dangling participle or not. It cannot be since it is mentioned in this book, but I am not confident enough to use it. This is the sentence and it is from the book Writing for the IELTS by Lin Lougheed:

"Most of the world's major cities have serious traffic congestion, making
life difficult for local citizens."

I just know that (I could be wrong) the participle must be about the noun of the independent clause, so I would reconstruct the sentence as follows:

Traffic congestion can be seen in most of the world's major cities, making life difficult for local citizens.

For the participle not to dangle, it has to refer to the subject of the main clause, in this case, "most of the world's major cities," and I think it does in the text in question:

- Most of the world's major cities have series traffic congestion and, as a result, they (those cities) make like difficult for local citizens.

Dear Gustavo,

Thank you so much for your answer! I will keep that in mind!
