Xinjiang Urban Transport and Environmental Improvement Project

Systematic monitoring and collection of the traffic volume data is critical input to support the needs for complementary transport planning, traffic management, and transport policy to promote long-term sustainable transport. Road investments alone cannot ensure that urban sustainability objectives are achieved. Complementary measures are needed to offset the adverse impacts of rapid motorization in addition to infrastructure provision for urban transport. Transport planning also needs to be linked to urban land use planning, urban development, and infrastructure planning.
