1.1.1 Any new road, road improvement or traffic managementudscheme could affect pedestrian journeys in its locality orudelsewhere. Some journeys may be affected directly, withudseverance caused where the new road or road improvement cutsudacross a pedestrian route, others may be affected indirectly withuda new road causing changes in traffic levels elsewhere.
