Managing Travel Demand
New hierarchy (in order of preference) :
1) Area wide travel demand management
to reduce travel by the private car
2) Improvements to public transport
services, walking and cycling facilities
3) Optimisation of existing network to
prioritise public transport cycling and
walking
4) Enhanced highway capacity to deal
with residual demand
