Section 1- Introduction
The growth or traffic management can be a major challenge for many urban areas including Barking and also in other parts of the world. As we demand greater mobility and accessibility the number of cars have significantly increased mainly in urban areas, as has the problem of traffic congestion, along with creating other problems including noise and air pollution. This has become such a major problem that council including the Barking council have introduced a range of measure to ease congestion.
Aim and hypothesis
The aim of this project is to investigate the methods being implemented in Barking to manage traffic and people is effective or not. The hypothesis is whether the methods used to manage traffic and people in Barking has been successful. In order to test my hypothesis I myself went to Barking to carry out a questionnaire. We asked people what they used and knew about the current methods implemented in Barking and whether they thought Barking was successful. I also went see for myself whether they had been successful by judging whether the methods they had introduced such as one way roads and bus lanes worked effectively and efficiently.
Background
Barking is a suburban area of east London and is home to 180,000 people. It was historically a fishing site. Fishing was the most important industry in Barking from the 14th century, until the mid-19th century. Barking is 1.5 miles away from the school I currently attend. The railway station opened in 1854 and was served by electric London Underground services from 1908. . In addition to an extensive and fairly low density residential area, the town Centre forms a large retail and commercial district, which is currently a focus for regeneration However over the years Barking has experienced many problem in association with pollution, deprivation, and waste disposal problems along with traffic management. For my results I was expecting that Barking would have succeeded in control
