| dc.description.abstract | Stop/Go systems on our roads due to construction works is a cause of great frustration to many motorists, but also comes with a price tag. The purpose of this paper is to determine the macro-economic cost of Stop/Go systems to our economy. This paper further investigates alternative traffic accommodation options to Stop/Go systems as well as the point where these alternatives become financially viable on a macro-economic scale. Alternative traffic accommodation options with regards to reseal as well as the reconstruction of roads are looked at and the advantages and disadvantages of these options are weighed up against one another. The requirements for the successful implementation of these alternatives are also presented. | en_ZA |
