Remedies to Relieve Traffic Congestion
Publication: Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers
Volume 104, Issue 1
Abstract
Growth of the automobile has resulted in congestion in business districts where the street system has not been expanded to compensate for this growth. Traffic interference, both pedestrian and vehicular, causing delays is discussed, and remedies are suggested. From an engineering standpoint most delays can be eliminated, but all improvements should be weighed from the standpoint of cost versus benefit to business. Inexpensive suggestions are given in the paper for relieving cross, marginal, internal, and medial interference.
