ENERGY AND ROADS

Energy must also be saved in road transport, but within reasonable limits from the viewpoint of national economy. The first part of this documentation not only places energy consumption in road transport in the context of the general set of energy problems but offers also suggestions for energy-saving, taking transport safety and environmental protection into account at the same time. Improvement of the road network and traffic control affords essential possibilities of savings. The second part of this documentation gives a precise description of such economies in conjunction with a cost-benefit analysis. Transport safety and environmental protection are pointed out.
