©Association for European Transport and contributors 2006 THE INFLUENCE OF A BYPASS ROAD ON URBAN DEVELOPMENT AND SAFETY

چکیده
One of the principal reasons for the construction of bypass roads in towns is the removal of through-traffic from the center of a town or city to the periphery, for the purpose of improving the flow of traffic, reducing travel times, and reducing road accidents. Bypass roads, however, have also environmental and economic consequences. On the one hand, they reduce noise and pollution emissions along the previous route. On the other hand, such projects are often accompanied by tremendous fears on the part of local proprietors and businesses regarding the scope of their business revenues, the value of their properties, and the impact of the road on land uses.
