The principles of accessibility of central areas of Warsaw for private transport

The principles of accessibility of central areas of Warsaw for private transport

Warsaw, December 2011

Purpose of study:

The primary purpose of this study is to clarify the settlements of the Strategy for sustainable development of the transport system in Warsaw until 2015 and next yearsin the introduction of limitations on private traffic in the central part of Warsaw.

Moreover, study purpose are the following:

• Delimitation of zones of differing rules of transport solutions.

• Definition of user groups and priorities in individual zones.

• Definition of maximum permissible speeds in individual zones.

• Definition of transport solutions, organization and management of traffic and the rules of the organization of public

space in the corridors of street in individual zones.

• Definition of impact of the introduction of these rules on the operating city transport system and the directions of its

development, with an indication of the necessary investment in roads and public transport, necessary for the proper

operating of the system.

• Propose a timetable for implementing the principles of transport solutions in the individual zones and other road

investments and public transport, necessary for the proper operating of the system.


Scope of study:


Stage 1

• Characteristics of the existing transport system in the area of study

• Simplified analysis of the spatial conditions in the area of study

• Analysis of existing studies and settlements concerning the strategy of city development, strategy of

transport system development, study within demography and transport system in the area of study

• Data and assumptions of city development

• Analysis of being prepared and implemented investments, studies and projects

• Assumptions concerning the operation rules and transport system development in the city

• Preliminary proposals for high altitude solutions for individual 7 zones differing conditions of

transport

• Rules of forecasting and spatial traffic distribution

• Traffic forecast Stage 1


Traffic forecast for city development

Assumptions consistent with those in Stage 1:

- Demographic development:Current and expected demographic trends for developing metropolitan area of Warsaw, July 2010 doc. dr hab. Przemysława Śleszyńskiego

Study of communication for downtown Warsaw in relation to proposed zoning changes, February 2010 prepared by TransEko Sp.j.

- Development of infrastructure:The slowdown in the construction of the new investments


Development of the transport system in Warsaw – Option 1

•Route of Krasiński section from Budowlana St. to Prymas Tysiąclecia Av. with a new bridge over the Wisła River,•Route of Północny Bridge at section from Młociny to interchange with a new exit route of S7 from Warsaw across Bemowo.

Year 2025 Year2035

•East section of Downtown Bypass from Wiatraczna Roundabout to Żaba Roundabout,•Route of Północny Bridge from Modlińska St. to Marki,•Route of Olszynka Grochowska from Route of Armia Krajowa (S8) to Route of Północny Bridge,•Nowo Lazurowa St. through the airport and Bemowo.


Development of the transport system of Warsaw - Option 2

Development of the transport system of Warsaw

Year 2025 Year 2035


Traffic forecast results – 2035 year, morning peak

Option 1 Option 2


Traffic foreacast results –2035 year, morning year


•Deterioration of traffic conditions in Option 2

•Decrease in average traffic speed

•Limiting of traffic capacity will not affect the

number of vehicles travelling through the city
