Mobility is part of our culture.
Culture may be defined as the ideas, beliefs, and customs that a society shares. The economic and social well-being of cities is seriously threatened by congestion, pollution, and noise. Major traffic routes cause neighborhood severance, reducing the freedom of residents to move around our cities. Such routes also reduce our willingness to walk and cycle and encourage people to make more and more journeys by private car. Freight is increasingly transported by heavy-good vehicles within and between cities.
