The traffic zone system in the city core of Gothenburg, Sweden. Paper presented at the 52nd Annual Meeting of the Highway Research Board HRB, Washington, D.C., January 1973.

An experiment, which divided the core area of the city Gothenburg, Sweden, into five sectors and prohibited the movement of privately owned vehicles and certain other traffic from passing one zone to another, is described. The proscription and the attendant provision of parking on the periphery of the core have resulted in interesting and beneficial alterations of the traffic pattern.
