Abstract
1.1.1 Any new road, road improvement or traffic management
scheme could affect pedestrian journeys in its locality or
elsewhere. Some journeys may be affected directly, with
severance caused where the new road or road improvement cuts
across a pedestrian route, others may be affected indirectly with
a new road causing changes in traffic levels elsewhere. To
enable effects on pedestrians to be given proper weight when
decisions are taken, techniques are required that forecast the
effects of the scheme on the number and quality of pedestrian
journeys. This is particularly true in urban areas, since
effects on pedestrians may be one of the main benefits or
disbenefits of measures to relieve urban traffic.
