Throughout the world, traffic levels are increasing and, in urban areas, these increasing levels have led to pressures on the road network which are causing serious economic, environmental and social problems. It is now widely accepted that unrestrained demand for travel by car cannot be sustained. This book examines the full range of 'push and pull' Travel Demand Management measures, including regulatory, pricing, planning and persuasive policies to encourage individuals to make their trips in off-peak periods, by a different mode or to find another way of carrying out the trip purpose. The editors conclude with a summary of findings within the book and suggestions for best future practice.
