Abstract

The results of the analysis of the impact of the trade ban on Sundays into the daily traffic volumes on weekend days on the road network of the medium Polish city are presented in this paper. The analyzes were carried out on the basis of data collected by the local ITS system, on traffic volumes counted in a continuous mode. Comparison of the results of traffic volume counts for the whole 2018 year, in which every two Sundays per month were indicated as allowed for trade, enabled a large research sample to determine changes in these volumes. The presented data may provide guidance for future activities in the field of planning and organizing road transport on weekend days, as well as enable determination of the impact of trade restrictions on transport pollution and environment.
