Likewise, when it comes to transportation (where we can consider <\/span><b><i>time <\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">currency) demand goes up when a new lane is added to a street or when a new motorway or highway is opened.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What that means is that <\/span><b>no matter how many lanes or new roads we add to battle congestion, demand will catch up<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchable.info\/posts\/do-highway-expansions-reduce-traffic-congestion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">This has proven to be the case so far<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So what does this mean for transportation if lanes and streets are being removed or pedestrianized, instead of added?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fortunately, induced demand works both ways. When the price goes back up, so too does demand. That translates to <\/span><b>people opting for walking, cycling, or using public transportation if those options are faster, cheaper, or more convenient<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All of this means that there are fewer cars on the roads, and that means that there should be less congestion. <\/span><b>This allows for trucks to still move just as efficiently if not better<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> through our city streets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Where do the trucks stop<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-7898\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freightera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/retractable-bollards-1024x767.jpg\" alt=\"Retractable bollards protecting a pedestrian-only street\" width=\"640\" height=\"479\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freightera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/retractable-bollards-1024x767.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freightera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/retractable-bollards-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freightera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/retractable-bollards-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freightera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/retractable-bollards-1536x1151.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.freightera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/retractable-bollards.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fewer parking spaces have proven to be a solvable issue as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the main reasons that parking spaces in cities have been removed is due to car access simply being restricted in some streets. If that access is restricted by installing automatic bollards that can be lowered by delivery services, pickups and deliveries can actually be made easier. <\/span><b>Without any traffic to delay the truck<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (or the truck delaying other vehicles), <\/span><b>everyone can actually save time<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In places where road space has been turned into bike lanes or expanded sidewalks, <\/span><b>there are usually still spaces for trucks to maneuver for easier loading and unloading<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. If there are no such spaces, <\/span><b>drivers will still be able to stop on the street for the little bit of time it takes them to complete their order<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The only difference is that they will be stopping slightly more to the side so as to allow pedestrians and cyclists to pass in the space designated for them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may think that closing streets off to cars might be bad for the business itself, regardless of pickups or deliveries. It turns out that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scientifique-en-chef.gouv.qc.ca\/en\/impacts-of-research-cat\/closing-the-streets-to-cars-bad-for-business-false-french-version-only\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the opposite is true<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. If you happen to be on a commercial street that becomes closed off to motorized vehicles, don\u2019t despair. It\u2019s been shown that when a street becomes accessible by more than one means of transportation, they become livelier than ever. <\/span><b>That\u2019s right, business improves<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conclusion<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a company that strives to make freight shipping as green and as convenient as possible, <\/span><b>these changes seem to bode well for both us and our clients<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. As congestion decreases, our carriers\u2019 services will improve and speed up!
