The aim is to evaluate how bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure schemes impact sustainability and promote low traffic neighbourhoods.
Examined impacts of infrastructure schemes at Trafford Road corridor and Wood Street.
Analyzed changes in bicycle and pedestrian traffic flow.
Assessed the effects of traffic calming measures near city centres.
Trafford Road saw a 34% increase in bicycle traffic flow due to the infrastructure scheme.
Wood Street's bicycle traffic increased from 174 to 356 per hour, with limited effect on pedestrian flow.
Traffic calming schemes increased footfall for pedestrians and cyclists while affecting adjacent road traffic.
