The outcomes of transport assessments and traffic modelling can get in the way of good placemaking. Traditionally, the emphasis is placed on vehicle movement and not people, leading to large roundabouts, costly junction improvements, or a theoretical lack of road capacity that can prevent the introduction of pedestrian and cycle crossing points or active travel routes.
Every year we are spending huge sums on road infrastructure and effectively sealing off large areas of our country.
National Highways has adopted a Vision-led approach, which should rebalance the assessments toward a more sustainable outcome.
Vision & Validate, decide & provide, monitor & manage?
In this webinar the Urban Design Group and guests seek to provide answers.
