Abstract
This report gives a description of traffic metering, especially traffic metering at the border of residential areas. Special attention is paid to traffic metering at the border of a residential area in combination with a reduction of lanes to reduce or even prevent through traffic in order to improve the quality of the environment. For three different sites in the village of Abcoude traffic metering, in combination with a reduction of lanes, is being designed. The principle of traffic metering is translated to a model. Two models have been worked out.
