Objectives

177

We defined the objects of this study as being:

1. to assess the number and character of the vehicular movements that would arise as vehicle ownership and use approach the potential maximum, taking into account likely changes in population distribution and land use,
2. to indicate the scale and pattern of alternative distributory road networks required to meet varying proportions of the potential demand for vehicular movement, and
3. to indicate the impact of increased traffic on the town centre, and the scale of the changes that would be required.
