• Abstract:
  This study examined interactions of environmental and safety measures for road ; transportation. The results showed that a vast majority of the examined measures support ; both policy objectives and thereby contribute effectively to sustainable transportation. ; However, there were also measures with conflicting effects, although the number of those ; measures was limited. In addition, there were a number of measures with no interaction. ; Furthermore, many potential effects were not documented and therefore in many instances ; only likely effects were noted. ; There are two practical implications of this study. First, those measures that result in ; double benefits should be encouraged to be implemented. Second, in case of conflicting ; measures, the specific implementations should attempt to minimize the negative effects.
