Congestion Charges Volume 1
Congestion Charges Volume 1 THE PROBLEM OF URBAN CONGESTION IN CANADA The recent CAA study Grinding to a Halt: Evaluating Canada’s Worst Bottlenecks took a new perspective on a problem that Canadians know all too well: urban congestion is a growing strain on our economy and well-being. Canada’s worst traffic bottlenecks are almost as bad as bottlenecks in Chicago, Los Angeles and New York. Bottlenecks affect Canadians in every major urban area, increasing commute times by as much as 50%. This CAA briefing on investments in active transportation is one in a series that explore potential solutions to the problem of urban congestion in Canada. These briefings delve into solutions not only to highway congestion, but also to congestion on urban streets. Taken together the solutions explored in these briefings represent a toolkit to address this problem. The objective is to inform policy makers and the public about options to reduce congestion and key considerations for when and where a particular solution might be the right fit. Congestion charges are direct charges to road users and include traditional tolls, cordon charges and mobility charges (charges based on distance travelled). Congestion charges reduce congestion if they are set high enough to encourage drivers to take an alternate route, carpool, take transit, cycle, walk or forego their trips. Generally, the higher the charge, the greater the reduction in congestion. However, congestion charges can create some challenges: Congestion charges reduce congestion if they • They can be politically difficult to implement, because there can are set high enough to be winners and losers. -
South Gloucestershire Council Public Consultation Cycling City Route
South Gloucestershire Council Public Consultation Cycling City Route Number 7 – Ring Road Path Background In June 2008 South Gloucestershire Council, jointly with Bristol City Council, were chosen as Britain’s first Cycling City. Government funding totalling £11.4 million has been awarded to the area to transform cycling infrastructure and to pioneer innovative ways of making cycling a real transport option for more residents. This funding will be matched by Bristol and South Gloucestershire councils and their partners creating a total scheme value of £22.8 million. The aim of the Cycling City project is to double the number of cyclists in the Greater Bristol area. To do this we need to promote and encourage cycling through better infrastructure, training and promotion. The Cycling City project will implement safe, continuous, attractive, comfortable and coherent routes across the project area. This route has been designed with the help of the South Gloucestershire cycle forum. The forum is a group of regular cyclists who have worked with engineers to ensure the proposed route is suitable and to overcome current problems on the route. Route Cycling City Route 7 will run predominantly along the A4174 Ring Road off-road cycle path from the Dramway Roundabout (junction with B4465 Shortwood Hill), to the Bristol City Council boundary in the vicinity of Southmead Hospital (i.e. Kenmore Drive). Although the westernmost section of the route is located away from the Ring Road corridor, continuous direction signing as far as Southmead Hospital will be provided as part of the Cycling City route signing proposals. This route will provide a total length of approximately 10km of predominantly off-carriageway cycle facilities. -

2021 LIMITED ACCESS STATE NUMBERED HIGHWAYS As of December 31, 2020 CONNECTICUT DEPARTMENT OF Transportation BUREAU OF POLICY AND PLANNING Office of Roadway Information Systems Roadway INVENTORY SECTION INTRODUCTION Each year, the Roadway Inventory Section within the Office of Roadway Information Systems produces this document entitled "Limited Access - State Numbered Highways," which lists all the limited access state highways in Connecticut. Limited access highways are defined as those that the Commissioner, with the advice and consent of the Governor and the Attorney General, designates as limited access highways to allow access only at highway intersections or designated points. This is provided by Section 13b-27 of the Connecticut General Statutes. This document is distributed within the Department of Transportation and the Division Office of the Federal Highway Administration for information and use. The primary purpose to produce this document is to provide a certified copy to the Office of the State Traffic Administration (OSTA). The OSTA utilizes this annual listing to comply with Section 14-298 of the Connecticut General Statutes. This statute, among other directives, requires the OSTA to publish annually a list of limited access highways. In compliance with this statute, each year the OSTA publishes the listing on the Department of Transportation’s website (http://www.ct.gov/dot/osta). The following is a complete listing of all state numbered limited access highways in Connecticut and includes copies of Connecticut General Statute Section 13b-27 (Limited Access Highways) and Section 14-298 (Office of the State Traffic Administration). It should be noted that only those highways having a State Route Number, State Road Number, Interstate Route Number or United States Route Number are listed. -
