Road traffic management

As urban populations expand and city roads become increasingly congested, city planners need comprehensive urban development and transport policies to address deep-seated social and demographic change.

Effective policies must meet multiple objectives:
- Strike a balance between different modes of transport: pedestrians, bicycles, motorcycles, cars and public transport,
- Provide security, safety and optimum service for transport system users,
- Maintain the mobility that drives economic development,
- Reduce urban pollution caused by motor vehicles.

Alongside longer-term solutions such as upgrading public transport systems and introducing city centre road toll systems,high-performance traffic management systems can be crucial to the success of a city planning and transportation policy.
