SmartRoads therefore manages increasing demands in a multi-modal road system in a manner that rationally maximize the movement of people and goods.\nIt uses a set of guiding principles to establish the priority use of roads by transport mode, time of day, and place of activity. This approach also ensures that decisions about the operation of the road network support integrated land use and transport planning.\n\nThe Glossary content: \n\nTram priority route Trams are a high priority mode along routes that\nfrequently link key destinations/activities.\n\nBus priority route Buses are a high priority mode along routes that\nfrequently link key destinations/activities.\n\nBicycle priority route Promote and reduce conflict along key cycling\nroutes linking to activity centres and key destinations.\n\nPedestrian priority area Pedestrians are a high priority where there is a\nconsiderable area of high pedestrian activity.\n\nPreferred traffic routes General traffic is encouraged to use these\nroutes to avoid significant conflicts.PTRs are used both at a local scale\n(for example, to bypass an activity centre) and also at a metropolitan /\nregional scale, where they form continuous routes for longer distance\ntravel, avoiding a number of activity centres (for example, the freeway\nnetwork).\nTraffic routes represent the remaining arterial road network that are not\ndesignated as Preferred Traffic Routes; therefore, they are the main roads\nthat link activity centres and cater for the mobility needs of people and\ngoods across the metropolitan and regional area.\n\nActivity Area areas that provide a concentration of business,\nshopping, working and leisure, and are of great importance to\nthe liveability of cities and towns. \n\nSmartRoads' four key time periods \nAMP morning peak (approx. 6am\u201310am)\nHOP high off-peak (between morning and evening peak, approx. 10am\u20133pm)\nPMP evening peak (approx. 3pm\u20137pm)\nOP off-peak (evening after peak hour, approx. 7pm\u20136am)", "summary": "Smart Roads", "title": "Smart Roads", "tags": [ "Road use Hierarchy", "road use", "VicRoads", "Smart roads", "activity area" ], "type": "Map Service", "typeKeywords": [ "Data", "Service", "Map Service", "ArcGIS Server" ], "thumbnail": "thumbnail/thumbnail.png", "url": "", "extent": [ [ 140.961858875554, -39.1367464679487 ], [ 149.976201053633, -33.9812848232619 ] ], "spatialReference": "WGS_1984_Web_Mercator_Auxiliary_Sphere", "accessInformation": "", "licenseInfo": "" }
