Anti-car measure
|
|
An anti-car measure is an alteration to a road environment which is partly or wholly designed to delay, inconvenience or frustrate those who drive cars. These measures are implemented and advocated by some authorities, and also supported by a minority of the public, such as the veteran anti-car campaigner Guy Chapman. As public opinion very rarely if ever favours anti-car measures, such alterations are usually disguised as improvements to road safety or the environment, despite research showing that in reality the opposite effect often occurs. Examples of the main anti-car measures currently used are: * Speed cameras * Unnecessarily low speed limits * Speed humps * Reallocating roadspace which was previously available to cars (e.g. bus lanes, cycle lanes, hatching, advanced stop lines for cyclists) * Putting in unnecessary traffic lights, or deliberately phasing traffic lights to impede the flow of motor traffic
