TRAFFIC CALMING IN THE NETHERLANDS

This paper outlines the historical developments with regard to the design of roads and road safety in the Netherlands, encompassing the legal aspects and the social organizations involved. As might be expected, legislation lags a few years behind developments in the social situation. In addition, a brief outline is sketched of the extent to which these developments have been included in manuals and other aids used by traffic engineering designers.
