Abstract

Concerns about the effects of traffic levels on the life of neighbourhoods are very common. This paper uses participant observation to show how one community was able to organise and administer traffic surveys to obtain quantitative evidence of their impact, discussing the advantages and limitations of this “do-it-yourself” approach. The role of through traffic and in particular its presence in residential one-way streets merits further research.
