| Abstract | This study examined the effect of the Car-Free-Day in Bangkok by comparing the travel time, travel speeds, volumes and ambient air qualities between Car-Free-Day and normal traffic day. All pertaining data were collected on Car-Free-Day (Friday, 22 September 2000) on both peak and off periods and also on Friday 15 December 2000 at the same locations and during the same periods. Results of the findings reduced that Car-Free-Day was a positive impact on not only travel time, travel speeds, volumes but also on air pollutants. Most of the results obtained indicated the significant reduction in these parameters. It is recommended that concerned authority should attempt to implement the similar policy to help minimize the city congestion problems and to improve the adverse air pollutant problems. |
