The study, conducted Transport & Mobility Leuven and the University of Leuven on one of Belgium’s most congested routes as it was felt typical of Europe’s densest urban areas. Suggested that is 25% of all commuting trips were made on a motorcycle, then ‘congestion would be a bad memory’. Jacques Compagne, ACEM Secretary General: “The European Mobility Week was a good opportunity to look at solutions for our congestion problems. FEBIAC’s study demonstrates that Powered Two Wheelers are an extraordinary resource for easing jams, making traffic more fluid and generally improving the quality of life in our cities. Policy makers can learn a good deal from this paper.” [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
