The particular aim of the study was to establish a catalogue of measures that: improve the utilisation of the existing transport structure including the optimisation of car use; encourage a modal shift from private to public transport; increase traffic and pedestrian safety; reduce the negative environmental effects of motor traffic; ensure the viability of urban economy by reducing extra costs for commercial traffic; and contribute to integrated urban traffic control and information concepts.
