Urban Planning and Traffic Congestion
A range of separate traffic and corridor studies from Perth are analyzed together with an international comparison of thirty-two cities to seek an answer to this question. The data suggest that free flowing traffic does not save energy or lower emissions overall in a city despite the apparently clear advantages for individual vehicles. The mechanisms for this in terms of travel distances, alternative modes and sub optimal vehicle usage are outlined together with the characteristics of cities where lower fuel use is apparent. Some implications for urban road project justification and traffic engineering practice are suggested.
