CBA
6 yrs before data.
5 yrs after data. |
| Participants |
I) Road districts in Rijswijk and Eindhoven in the Netherlands. The project began in 1976.
C) Number of residential zones bordering on main traffic arteries within the boundaries of Rijswijk and Eindhoven. They were not in the immediate vicinity of the intervention areas.
The experimental areas in Rijswijk consisted mainly of old residential districts whereas the control area is made up of new housing estates.
Each area was about 100 hectares. |
| Interventions |
I) Public spaces were first reclassified, with a new distribution of traffic zones and zones for other functions. The traffic zones were then reconstructed in order to improve road safety and traffic flow. Interventions included: road humps, horizontal road shifts, road closures and restrictions, road narrowing and raised cross‐roads.
C) No traffic calming. |
| Outcomes |
Road traffic crash related deaths and injuries.
Environmental effect.
Retail sales.
Public opinion. |
| Notes |
Project began in 1976. The control areas were larger than the intervention areas and had many more residents. However, the residential density per hector was higher in the intervention area. |
