Traduction de «circulation en zone urbaine » (Français → Anglais) :

19. Calls on the Commission to develop standards to ensure general harmonisation and coherence in the regulation of parking and vehicle access to urban areas, the categorisation of vehicles, the different classes of emissions, road signs, disability-friendly transport systems and technical standards in intelligent transport systems, and to boost the impetus for pedestrian zones and the protection of historical areas and generally improve the environment and public mobility ...[+++]; points out that the keystone of the SUMPs is quality of life, a corollary of which is the emphasis on freeing cities from traffic congestion and planning parking facilities to ensure freedom of movement for pedestrians and the attractiveness of city centres; asks the Commission to support coordinated and integrated strategic public transport solutions to relieve transport networks, urban highways and access roads to workplaces in order to improve people’s quality of life and to encourage a better work-life balance, while increasing productivity; also calls on the authorities to increase the use of intelligent technologies that can help solve problems related to urban mobility, such as on-board satellite sensors in vehicles and smart ticketing;

7. Calls on the Member States to protect the most vulnerable road users by improving the safety of pedestrians, removing architectural barriers, establishing safe pedestrian-only routes and supporting ‘walking buses’ and safe routes between home and school; further calls on the Member States to improve bike mobility by providing dedicated and safe cycling paths and bike parking areas, and by promoting and implementing bike sharing services; calls on the Commission and the Member States, in order to further stimulate bike mobility, to put forward amendments to the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic in order to modernise traffic ...[+++] rules in urban areas so as to ensure that cyclists are given the best protection possible;

‘priority zones’ means road sections identified by national authorities where they consider this to be relevant, in particular in urban areas, that are not part of the comprehensive trans-European road network and are not motorways, based on the levels of recurring traffic congestion or other traffic management considerations;

Within the framework of sustainable urban development, it is considered necessary to support integrated actions to tackle the economic, environmental, climate, demographic and social challenges affecting urban areas, including functional urban areas, while taking into account the need to promote urban-rural linkages.

8. Considers compliance with air quality norms as laid down in EU legislation as crucial given the increase in respiratory, cardiovascular and other diseases related to air pollution, mainly resulting from transport. Takes the view that, in order to address the issue, preventive measures should be incentivised, for instance by introducing high-quality filters for the ultra-fine solid particles emitted by engines, and that incentives must be provided to renew any of the currently circulating car fleet that is not in line with the European Euro 4, Euro 5 and Euro 6 standards (the latter is due to enter into force in 2014). The reduction in emissions must not be restricted only to vehicles using new technology, i.e. with new engines, but shoul ...[+++]d concern also those already in circulation. Old-generation engines can be adapted by using the new filter, with a view to achieving the low level of ultra-fine solid particles emissions of new vehicles. Favours, in particular in urban contexts, low emission zones (such as 30 areas, i.e. urban areas in which maximum vehicle speed is limited to 30 km/h) and traffic calming measures which provide an incentive for walking and cycling;

the facilitation of the electronic exchange for traffic data and information across borders, and where appropriate, regions, or between urban and inter-urban areas between the relevant traffic information/control centres and different stakeholders,
