DOWNTOWN AUTO RESTRAINT POLICIES. ADOPTING AND IMPLEMENTING URBAN TRANSPORT INNOVATIONS
The article explains political and institutional opposition to car restraint measures. It is argued that these are "fragile" policy initiatives facing obstacles in (1) building political support, (2) securing approvals from decision-makers, and, (3) being implemented by public agencies. Although these problems affect any car restraint proposal, the feasibility of specific restraint measures is influenced by features of policy design, restrictions in force and requirements of state and law. It is concluded that in selecting a restraint option planners should evaluate political and administrative feasibility as well as the probable impact on transport and net benefits or costs.
