Analytical methods and measures related to the involvement of traffic conditions (and the resulting environmental effects) in urban municipal planning are presented and discussed. The overall aim is to protect the environment from pollution caused by traffic as far as this is possible. General measures can be that the structure of the town plan should be such that the location of buildings and activities that draw a large volume of road traffic should result in the reduction in the amount of traffic in given areas. Public transport routes should be planned more carefully and services should be improved. Bicycle networks should be established (special cycle paths) to encourage the use of this form of road transport, and should be planned in such a way that the use of a bicycle can be coordinated with the use of public transport. Industrial buildings should be located ''en bloc''so as to lead heavy traffic outside the center of the town area, special parking and loading facilities/areas should be provided, parking areas should be chosen carefully and parking costs should vary according to their location (to disencourage parking in the center of the town). Speed limits should be differentiated and traffic volumes controlled within the town area. Traffic-free zones should be established. (AB) (103 refs.)
