A variety of measures are needed to tackle congestion in Ipswich. As identified in the Suffolk Local Transport Plan, the key change required in Ipswich is in behaviour, to increase travel by sustainable modes and reduce the use of motor vehicles. Whilst new development will make up only part of total demand on the highway network, our authorities can work to ensure that new development makes appropriate provision in respect of facilities for walking and cycling.
Our priorities should be to:
- Reduce the need to travel
- Make efficient use of transport networks
- Improve infrastructure
