“Anketell Street in front of the Tuggeranong Town Centre has been revamped.
“The local community looked forward to this street being revitalised as a user-friendly public space with the constant stream of buses being diverted on to a nearby street. The latter did not happen and so pedestrians and those having coffee still get to share the noise of the buses and their wonderful fumes.”

“Reflecting on the success in Groningen since the implementation of the Traffic Circulation Plan in 1972, [Deputy Mayor] De Rook acknowledges that the structure of their city has helped them achieve their impressive status, but he insists it's about much more than that: ‘You need to provide people with realistic alternatives in order to actually influence their behavior. It’s not just building cycling roads and then expecting that everybody will change their traveling behavior. You have to look at it as a system as a whole.’”
