The paper identifies the major adverse environmental effects of conurbation roads and road traffic as noise; air pollution; visual intrusion; physical interference; and severance. Techniques are described for countering these adverse effects, and wherever possible criteria are given. The paper discusses control by planning and legislation, and gives a brief indication of the environmental consequences of two possible transportation systems of the future. (Author)
