• Intuitive or habitual behaviour follows a
  perception of need straight into a pre-decided
  action there is no evaluation involved and no
  decision has to be taken.
• Most travel decisions (commute, shopping trips)
  are habitual

Role of the road
26
Role of the road

• Roads spaces for movements of cars
• Car-orientated design can often encourage further
  car use and create ugly, anti-social spaces,
  which create barriers to pedestrians and cyclists

27
Role of the road

• Roads public community spaces
• Movement corridors (people, cycles, cars)
• Meeting places,
• Children's playgrounds
• Green spaces
• Key contextual factor in changing travel habits

28
Home Zone

• Design for multiple road uses driving, walking,
  play
• Aim reduce car dependency, encourage community
  interaction, improve safety
• Location - areas of social housing with high
  crime rates and antisocial behaviour
