Overview

Background & policy context:

Core traffic lanes in towns, cities and villages have proved their worth in certain situations. In what circumstances can core traffic lanes also be used out in the country?

Objectives:

In this research project studies were made of  15 road sections in total, largely with the aid of video recordings. More than 200 hours were spent filming and these video films have not only been used to make observations of a qualitative nature, but, and in particular, to obtain quantitative readings. Special software makes it possible to take readings like distance and speed directly from the video image and to evaluate them in terms of statistics.

Methodology:

Comprehensive “before and after" studies were made of five roads with core traffic lanes, making it possible to make direct comparisons of the situation with and without advisory cycle lanes.
