Road tolls, diverted traffic and local traffic calming measures: Who should be in charge? [PDF]
Transportation Research Part B: Methodological, 2021 Abstract Secondary roads often suffer from diverted traffic trying to avoid congestion on major motorways. In this paper we study the traffic problems of a small town that is located parallel to a congested motorway and suffers from such diverted traffic (high local accident risks, local congestion and other nuisances).
