Abstract
Reallocating road space to serve all users and sustainable modes of transport such as walking, cycling and public transport away from car-oriented road planning is increasing at a rapid rate in many cities worldwide. However, to give priority to car traffic in road planning is still common in Japan.
In this study, in order to examine the possibility of road space reallocation in Japan, we analyzed the influence of road space reallocation in favor of walking and cycling by traffic assignment. The results showed the reallocation of road space has no negative influence on the traffic flow in the study area if the TDM policy is implemented appropriately with the reallocation of road space.
