Samenvatting
Because of the reduction in traffic flow it was possible to widen footways and to provide amenity items along a 1 km length of Oxford Street. A survey of pedestrian travel shows that the scheme has not attracted more people to the street, nor was any change observed in the proportions of people in the different age and sex groups The lack of change in trip behaviour and numbers of pedestrians present is probably due to the still high volume of buses and taxis and the attractiveness and reputation of the area were probably already great.
