PRIORITY, INNOVATION AND RESTRAINT: SOME EMPIRICAL RESULTS

This discussion and review does not claim to be exhaustive, it simply attempts to draw together the information that is readily available on the most common types of priority, innovation and restraint, and to review it in terms of the overall objectives of (a) has public transport benefited and (b) have car users been persuaded, or cajoled, into leaving their cars at home. The discussion is organised under the following three headings: bus priorities (priority intersections, bus lanes); innovations (park-and-ride, dial-a-ride, superbus); and restraint (restricting car use). /TRRL/
