Primary Focus Geography - Traffic Survey
The role of traffic surveys to help road planners manage traffic problems looking at surveys carried out by Department of the Environment and two areas of traffic congestion.
The programme explores the role of traffic surveys in helping road planners manage traffic problems. It examines surveys carried out by the Department of the Environment and looks in detail at two areas of traffic congestion, one in Newry town centre, the other on the approaches to Belfast city centre. It explores the solutions found for these, namely the Newry Bypass and the M3 cross-harbour road bridge. The success of the road schemes in taking traffic away from the affected areas is investigated along with alternatives to ever-increasing car use.
