Road traffic

Being mobile has always been a human need, and the transportation of goods is an important prerequisite for a functioning economy.. The use of means of transport, especially of cars, is however often associated with noise, air pollution which is damaging to health and emissions of greenhouse gases. Transportation structures also consume land and fragment the landscape.
