Samenvatting
In recent years the effectiveness and acceptability of traffic restraint measures in residential areas has been investigated. Results of accident investigations indicate that a new layout of residential areas has a positive effect on traffic safety. Research into road safety should not be restricted to residential streets; attention should also be paid to the problems of traffic zones and particularly the transitions from residential to traffic zones. Therefore traffic restraint measures should be implemented in larger areas. Some thoughts about evaluating speed limiting measures are presented.
