A STUDY INTO THE EFFECTS OF ONE-WAY TRAFFIC IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS OF FOUR TOWNS IN THE NETHERLANDS

Jbj Riemersma, Rmm Symonsma

Abstract

Accident data of residential areas in four towns in the Netherlands (Amsterdam, Eindhoven, Rotterdam and Utrecht) were used to determine specific relations between one-way traffic measures and indicators of traffic safety. It was found that establishing one-way traffic has a decreasing effect on the total number of accidents, and that this effect is sometimes related to specific areas. However, no relation could be found between the effect and specific traffic situations (such as intersections, etc). Moped-riders turned out to be the principal category of traffic participants for which a positive effect could be shown. (TRRL)
