Bold: denotes statistical significance at an alpha level of 5%.
AbbreviationscITS: controlled ITS; SC: synthetic control; (T): traffic site; (UB): urban background site; (B): background site.
Effects are expressed as the effect over the post-intervention time period, e.g. −9.34 corresponds to a reduction in NO2 concentration of 9.34 μg/m3 between the pre- and post-intervention periods in 2020 relative to the control year(s).
The SC approach did not allow for testing the second 2-week post-intervention period, thus no results are reported.
