RINGWEG AMSTERDAM: METEN EFFECTEN OPENSTELLING

On the 21st of September 1990 the highway circle around Amsterdam is to be closed officially: the construction of the ring road will be completed. On the 28th of September the traffic will flow. This will have great consequences for the traffic pattern around Amsterdam and the rest of the Netherlands. The paper gives a view of the present and future traffic situation. By solving bottlenecks in the highway network a one-off growth of car traffic,on that bottleneck location during the peakhour will occur. It is often assumed that this is newly generated traffic. The paper shows that this assumption is not correct. The major part of the additional traffic on the bottleneck is shifted traffic that used to use the old route (by the bottleneck) during the old peak period. The Transportation and Traffic Research Division of Rijkswaterstaat investigates the changes and offers building stones for national and regional policy based on the results of the study.
