THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE ELEMENTS IN THE URBAN TRANSPORT PLAN FOR THE CITY OF LIVERPOOL

The Paper briefly relates the history and the findings of the 1962 Merseyside Traffic Survey and the more sophisticated Merseyside Area Land Use/Transportation Study. A series of recommendations for the construction and operation of elements in the overall transportation plan has evolved from these studies. The Paper discusses the implementation of the major traffic management schemes in the city centre, including traffic congestion control by computer, closed circuit television surveillance and so on, combined with a centralized control of bus operations and the proposed expansion of the system into a wider area control and an outline of the Liverpool underground railway loop. The Paper concludes with a description of the works still to be carried out and the sort of timetable needed to keep up with the programme and the decisions that still have to be made.
