How does the SECTOR
influence city environment
The development of automobile transportation is one
of the causes of more intensive impact of transport on the
environment during last decades. A significant increase of
individual automobile transportation is recorded on public
cross-town communications, on the basic communication system of the
city as well as on local service roads.

The car transport increase has caused the overall
slow-down of traffic and prolongation of the waiting time at
high-traffic crossroads. This has a negative impact on the
smoothness of the public transport (PT) and also on the environment.
Higher consumption of fuel, noisiness, air pollution and car exhaust
gases are connected with the slow-down of traffic. These are the
basic factors of negative impacts of transport on the
environment.
