TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT IN SOUTH EAST ASIAN CITIES. SINO-BRITISH HIGHWAYS AND URBAN TRAFFIC CONFERENCE. PAPERS PRESENTED AT THE CONFERENCE HELD IN BEIJING 17TH-22ND NOVEMBER 1986
This paper reviews recent approaches to traffic management in South East Asian cities in relation to demand management, road network management, public transport priorities, enforcement, road safety, and institutional development. The rate of change in these major cities is rapid and dynamic, thus placing enormous strain on traffic management throughout a typical day. Recent traffic control schemes in these cities have been able to accommodate traffic growth generally by using road space more efficiently, but there is a limiting capacity which is now being approached rapidly. Demand management, priority for road-based public transport, and investment in segregated mass transit are being used increasingly to enable reasonable urban traffic conditions to emerge. Traffic management has a continuing, vitally important part to play, and the greater use of modern technology should ensure that in future road space will be used effectively up to its maximum capacity.
