Abstract
Traditionally, traffic problems are treated in isolation in terms of location of the problem and the kind of problem. However, there is a strong correlation between these problems, so clearly solving a traffic problem at one location may result in other problems at other locations. Congestion problems on the main network can, for example, lead to “rat-running” (through-traffic using the secondary road network avoiding these congestion problems) causing liveability problems. Therefore, measures to alleviate traffic problems are nowadays increasingly focussed on the network level. In addition, solutions are sought for the optimization of traffic systems and less emphasis is placed on expanding the infrastructure of the system mainly because of financial considerations and space limitations. This optimization can be achieved using traffic management measures. Traditionally, this type of optimization is focussed on improving accessibility, given particular boundary conditions for traffic safety and liveability (set by law).
