WITH THE STRUCTURE SCHEME ON TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORT NO MORE QUEUES? . CONFERENCE PAPERS ON THE WORKING DAYS ON TRAFFIC ENGINEERING 1989

MET HET SVV DE FILE VAN DE WEG?

The Netherlands has a traffic congestion problem. This paper describes and discusses the solutions put forward to decrease the problem in the recently published "tweede struktuurschema verkeer en vervoer (svv2)", the policy for traffic and transport till the year 2010. According to svv2 nineteen milliard guilders will be invested in highways and twelve milliard guilders in the public transport. The use of private cars will be reduced by a parking-policy, tax-policy and road-pricing. Svv2 provides little choice of priority concerning schedule and finances. The mean problems of traffic congestion are given as the damage on the economy and the environment. Can svv2 offer a stable solution for these problems? The conclusions are: (a) investment in road-building and the introduction of road-pricing don't assure the improvement in road congestion for business-traffic, the transport of goods and the environment; and (b) the financial policy has to give priority to public transport, the transport of goods and business-traffic.
