Abstract
This research report, commissioned by the Highways Agency, considers the trip attraction rates of mixed use developments. The research has provided greater understanding of the impacts of mixed use on car travel. Initially, a literature review highlighted existing knowledge of the effects of mixed use. Subsequently, in 2002, empirical research was carried out to collect primary evidence. Eleven suburban business parks were selected in the south of England to study employee and visitor trip patterns to each site. Data collection methods included automatic traffic counts, manual multi-model counts, employee and visitor questionnaires and developer interviews. (Author/publisher)
