The traffic problems on main roads passing through town and village centers are mainly caused by traffic passing without consideration to inhabitants and local traffic, with speed considerably higher than the limit. This has led to many accidents, large problems with risk perception, environmental problems and a great local interest for improvements. In this regard, the Danish Road Directorate decided to implement traffic calming schemes in several Danish towns which were appropriate to the towns and the defined problems, also including economy. The traffic calming schemes are expected to be effective, the visual appearance satisfactory and the measures should adopt to the local urban and traffic environment.
