SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORTATION QUIZ

​Parking pricing, enforcement, and taxation are tools that are more effective in managing travel demand rather than continuously expanding road infrastructure.

Drag and Drop

Which of the following measures is least aligned with pedestrian safety and inclusivity?​

Placeholder

Drag these tiles and drop them in the correct blank above

Allowing vehicles to stop beyond the stop line

Pedestrian signals

Safe crossings in road dividers

Wide and continuous footpaths

​It is imperitive to enforce strict stop-line discipline to protect pedestrian crossings. Vehicles crossing stop lines increase risk and reduce pedestrian safety.

Reorder

Reorder the following interventions in the order that reflects a shift from car-centric to people-centric transport planning

• Flyovers

• Parking expansion

• Bus lanes and BRT

• Wide footpaths and pedestrian plazas

​Flyovers and parking expansion prioritize private vehicle movement and storage. Dedicated bus lanes and BRT shift priority toward high-capacity public transport. Wide footpaths and pedestrian plazas place people-not vehicles- at the center of street design.

Multiple Choice

Why are policies such as low-interest vehicle loans and toll exemptions for private vehicles criticized?

• They reduce government revenue

• They slow down public transport

• They indirectly incentivize private vehicle ownership and use

• They increase fuel prices

​Policies such as low-interest vehicle loans and toll exemptions for private vehicles reduce the perceived cost of owning and using private cars. When driving becomes cheaper and more convenient, people are more likely to purchase and use private vehicles instead of choosing walking, cycling or public transport. This leads to increased traffic volume, higher congestion, greater demand for parking, and more road space consumption.

Multiple Choice

Free on-street parking leads to overconsumption of parking and inefficient use of public space.

• True

• False

​Free on-street parking has a zero price, even though curb space is scarce and valuable. When users do not face any cost, demand exceeds efficient levels, leading to overconsumption-drivers occupy spaces longer than necessary and circle streets searching for parking. This results in inefficient use of public space, as land that could support pedestrian movement, cycling, public transport, or commercial activity is instead monopolized by private vehicles without reflecting its true opportunity cost.
