Roads for cyclists, pedestrians needed to ease urban trafficVietNamNet Bridge – As urbanisation has progressed rapidly in the country’s big cities, overloaded transport infrastructure is increasing the risk of traffic accidents and worsening environmental pollution. Many countries around the world have had roads reserved for cyclists and pedestrians for decades now, he said, citing Denmark’s Copenhagen as the pioneer city in this regard. Meanwhile, Dr. Hai expressed his opinion that a developed urban city should offer residents different choices of transport, including bicycles and public transportation. “So roads for cyclists and pedestrians are needed because walking and cycling are good for people’s health and the environment as well”, he said. If roads for cyclists and pedestrians connect to means of public transport, traffic in big cities would be considerably eased, said the director.
