The objective of the review is to examine some of the main options for restraining road traffic in urban areas (particularly cars), and to assess their effectiveness. The authors focus primarily on controls on moving traffic; the paper does not cover restraint imposed through parking controls, although this is an important element of an overall traffic restraint policy. Data have been obtained from a number of cities around the world, collected in conjunction with a European Communities 'DRIVE' Project on 'Strategies for Integrated Demand Management'. It begins by setting out a conceptual framework for discussing traffic problems and options, and outlines the classification of traffic restraint measures adopted in the review. The options are described, using specific examples whenever possible. The review concludes with an assessment of each type of measure, and briefly addresses the issue of the effective use of measures in combination.
