The aim of building a through-road in Vinderup (Denmark) was to reduce the speed of the cars, thus improving the urban environment for the light road users. A related study of pollutive effects was carried out. An investigation was made of the fuel consumption of vehicles passing through the main road of vinderup. The investigation showed, that fuel consumption was reduced by about 9% which is partly due to the fact, that the average speed was reduced by 6 km per hour. The distribution of speeds was less than before, indicating less braking and accelerations. Noise measurements show that there has been no important change in the noise level on the main road. The number of households feeling that air pollution was a nuisance had fallen from 27% to 6% after the rebuilding, obviously owing to a psychological effect. Although the number of households which felt road noise to be a nuisance fell from 48% to 18%, indicating that, as the main road is looked upon more favourably after the rebuilding, it has also had a psychological effect on the inhabitants' conception of the noise. Moreover, the calculation of the carbon monoxide and nitric dioxide amounts were unaltered in the shopping area, there was in fact a small increase outside the shopping area. Rumble fields of the type in Vindrup, were seen to increase vibration. (AB) 13 refs.
