Lesson
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.

Lesson
Proper formulation of training components is necessary to effectively build the capacity of institutions and meet priority needs. Providing resources for a program that is not well developed usually results in poor use of resources as priorities for use of resources do not often match additional skill requirements. An important lesson from the assessment is a need for more attention to the implementation of institutional components during project supervision as physical components are a natural priority of implementing agencies.

Lesson
It is important for urban transport projects to factor in adequate measures to address sustainability issues which can positively affect the project outcomes on the ground in the long term. Attaining sustainability is important in rapidly growing urban areas where rising population levels, increased motorization and economic activity combine to produce conditions that can adversely impact sustainability and erode the benefits of urbanization and quality of life.
