Is the intersection at the end of the road inefficient, or too small?) 3) Utilising the invisible information on travel behaviours through analysing the statistical information collected, we can ascertain travel behaviours and thus make a more efficient transportation or roads system that better suits the dynamics of people in the area, leading perhaps to bike lane that reduces pollution and encourages fitness - all key factors for a sustainable and liveable urban environment.
