MOBILITY
Mobility; a condition for functioning 2015-10-07 7
Mobility; a basic need Mobility should be a given, it is a basic need for everyone to function well and flourish in society. 2015-10-07 8
Consuming mobility We consume mobility within the boundaries set by our environment, government, employers and other parties.. 2015-10-07 9
Mobility; the tipping point When our traffic systems fail to meet user needs, we are more open to change. 2015-10-07 10

1970s; the rise of fatalities in traffic
Improved road safety Traffic fatalities in the Netherlands since 1950 3.500 Geregistreerd 3.000 2.500 2.000 1.500 1.000 500 0 1950 1960 1970 1980 1990 2000 2010 38
Sustainable Safety / Vision Zero Shared initiative from national, provincial and municipal governments, Implemented in 1997, still responsible for a massive decrease of fatalities, Aims at reducing amount and severity of traffic incidents on all roads (traffic fatalities are unethical), and Incorporates infrastructure, but also information/education, enforcing, vehicle safety, and traffic regulation. 39
Form in balance with function Aim for the balance between the use, the form and the function of the road function use shape

Sustainable Safety / Vision Zero
Types of infrastructure based on road Cycle path (>=50 km/h) Physical segregation Cycle lane (50 km/h) Visual segregation more segregation Mixed traffic (30 km/h) No segregation higher speeds higher volumes 43
Sustainable Safety Reduce the car speed when mixing, separating the cars and cyclists at higher speeds Limited, logical and understandable road categories Flow Distributor Access highway 80 mph arterial road 50 mph rural road 37 mph Rural urban highway 62 mph collector road 30 mph residential street 20 mph Urban No cycle path Bike lane/adjacent path Mixed use

On the street level
Essential elements Traffic calming: Guarantee low travel speeds within the zone narrow, non-asphalt, different colouring, misalignments, uncommon, subjective insecurity Prevent through traffic: Create a network which accommodates local traffic but is unattractive for through traffic. Gateways: Create a logical transfer point between two roads of different categories. Equality at intersections: 55 Emphasize equality between roads of the same order.

Which choice can we make? 2015-10-07 90
Increase the choices! Possibility to substitute car on short distance Journeys related to distance and transportation mode E-bike 100% 90% 80% 19% 27% 15% 6% 2% 6% 11% 70% 26% Percentage 60% 50% 40% 3% 2% 34% 2% 76% 81% foot bike bus/tram/metro train car 30% 48% 20% 36% 10% 0% Total < 7,5 km (70% of all movements) 7,5-15km (11% of all movements) 15 km < (18% of all movements)
