Low Capital investment stratagies
Optimise traffic light managment
Vary timings of traffic lights to match demand in real life
When lights are all co-ordinated to demand, incidences where cars block junctions can be minimised
Traffic planers (planning for specific scenarios such as a road accident) which can then be sent to the traffic lights immediately
Making traffic lights prioritise uses using height sensors
If a bus is behind schedule allowing traffic lights to let the buses through
Ensure existing road traffic laws
Parking in illegal areas, running red lights, speeding and driving through retricted areas all contribut to fatalites
People breaking these laws cause more congestion and threaten the safety of the public.
By making sure these rules / laws are followed, safety is ensured and congestion is decreased as a result.
Use CCTV to monitor road conditions
Allows traffic managers to see breakdowns, collisions and other causes of congestion
Good communication with police etc to ensure advanced warnings of things that may cause harm
Must be good enough to be able to view cars incase legal action required
Improve perception of buses
Trams are seen as better as buses
pollution from buses is detrimental to health
there is usually contactless payment on trams
Trams often have multi-doorboarding
Tram routes are easier to understand
ride quality is smoother on trams
Design and decor of trams is seen as more attractive
Bus windows steam with condensation in winter

By extending parking zones much further from out of the city centre, less people create congestion in city centre
Charge for workplace parking
Free parking attracts people so congestion increases
Provide financial help for bus fares etc
Build changing rooms and showers so people can shower after running/cycling to work
Relocate car parking for cycle parking
run a work bus where no public bus is present
