Effectiveness, Public Acceptance, and Political Feasibility of Coercive Measures for Reducing Car Traffic

Abstract

This chapter draws on a conceptual framework briefly identifying the main reasons why non-coercive measures for changing private car use in urban areas may fail to be effective and why coercive measures are effective. On the basis of attributes describing travel demand management measures, the chapter will conceptualize coerciveness as a continuum from non-coercive to coercive that has both objective and subjective definitions. The chapter notes that public and political acceptability is a critical issue related to the implementation of coercive measures and discusses possible reasons for this.
