Evaluation of traffic and mobility management during road works on the A10-West motorway

The A10 orbital motorway around Amsterdam is one of the busiest motorways in The Netherlands. Due to the intensive use of the motorway, large road works were necessary and a lot of traffic problems were expected during these road works. To deal with the expected problems, Rijkswaterstaat, together with the other road authorities, developed a coherent package of measures, consisting of traffic management and mobility management measures. The measures were accompanied by a large publicity campaign to inform road users. A research program was initiated to measure the effects of the road works and the management measures. The evaluation showed that the integrated approach was effective. The project was a good example for other similar road works.
