Transport planning
• Traffic is caused by the geographical separation of functions.
• Large flows of traffic are generated by concentrations of functions and high densities.
• Public transport needs large flows to be operated economically.
Traffic policy
This is what we wish to achieve: - Decrease the growth in traffic- The greatest part of the growth in traffic replaced by public transport- Reduce the environmental issues caused by traffic- Shield the City Center from unwanted pressure from traffic- Build a coherent pedestrian and bicycle road system- Reduce the number of traffic accidents
Integrated planning
Planning agreements between municipalities
• Location policyo Offices only at railway stationso Concentration of housing at public transport
stopso Bicycle routes to schools
• Park&Ride • Bicycle parking at railway stations and public
transport stops• Traffic safety in residential areas• Upgrading of tram system to light rail• Categorisation of roads
