MORE

MORE project aims to develop design concepts that encourage street activity and reduce traffic dominance by considering the needs of all road users.

Corridor roads are under pressure. As the population and economy grow, mobility levels increase. Meanwhile, the demand for transport becomes increasingly diverse. These factors put the network's reliability at risk for passengers and freight and call for more efficient use of road space.

Against this backdrop, MORE will explore experimental options such as flexible use of kerb space and dynamic allocation of road space to accommodate different functions. The project concentrates on the urban feeder-roads of the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T). Their efficient functioning is vital to the local and national economy and the success of the TEN-T. But higher traffic volumes might also lead to increased air and noise pollution, accidents, congestion and CO2 emissions – affecting the economic efficiency and the health and well-being of the population, demanding countermeasures.

MORE brings together a consortium of organisations including, POLIS, European Cyclist Federation, International Road Union, UCL and more. The project will develop and review tools and procedures in five nodes of the TEN-T: Budapest, Constanta, Lisbon, London, and Malmö.
