1. Presentation<\/strong><\/p>\n This is a traffic calming measure<\/strong>, usually associated with other measures of this kind (for example, Limited speed areas<\/u><\/a>, Horizontal and vertical road deflections<\/u><\/a>, Road narrowing<\/u><\/a>). This measure intends to reduce car connectivity to levels lower than the remaining transport modes<\/strong>. It usually originates from the need to accommodate the interests of different transport modes in a limited public space, resulting in the restriction of certain trip choices for the car in order to allow non-motorized transports to have more space, safety and greater access than the car. This leads to greater trips or less direct routes (with unintuitive turns) for the car..<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 2. Objectives<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 3. Measure’s importance<\/strong><\/p>\n Restricting car use, when allied to the facilitation of walking and cycling, provides comfort and safety to cycling and creates an efficient and attractive environment to the remaining transportation means. These measures contribute to making the streets more pleasant and less dominated by motorized vehicles.<\/p>\n\n
