Multiple Choice

A city council approves a policy intended to reduce traffic by adding bike lanes. Which policy did they implement?

Policies that influence traffic by changing how people travel work by encouraging a shift in transportation choices through infrastructure. By adding bike lanes, the city creates safer, more convenient routes for cyclists. When cycling becomes easier and safer for more trips, some people opt to bike instead of drive, which can lessen the number of cars on the road and ease congestion overall. This approach focuses on reshaping travel behavior through infrastructure to achieve a calmer traffic situation. The other options describe different tactics that aim to influence driving behavior in other ways or even encourage driving (such as subsidizing car use or expanding parking) or use pricing as a deterrent. The described policy specifically uses bike lanes to promote cycling and reduce traffic.
