TY - JOUR PY - 1975// TI - Higher fuel prices and car traffic levels-recent experience JO - Proceedings of the International Research Council on the Biomechanics of Injury conference A1 - Parish, D.j. SP - 180 EP - 184 VL - 3 IS - N2 - The rapid rise in real petrol prices since the Autumn of 1973 is expected to reduce traffic to a level 10-15 percent below what it would otherwise have been. However, historically, traffic levels have been rising at an annual rate of 5 percent largely as a result of rising incomes. Thus, if prices do not continue to rise, a loss of some 2-3 years traffic growth followed thereafter by a resumption of growth at its old rate may be expected. Different trip purposes may be affected differently.
