Project Abstract
"The main shopping street in Vordingborg, Algade, has been converted from a one-way street to partly a pedestrian street, partly a 30 km/h street with commercial traffic allowed in both directions. The conversion has embellished the street and reduced car traffic volume and speeds considerably."

"The growing traffic in Algade [a main shopping street] in the 1980s stimulated a strong wish to improve the shopping atmosphere in the street. With this in mind an experiment was started in 1988 introducing one-way car traffic but still with two-way cycling. The street design included siting of concrete rings, humps, and road marking for cycle tracks on both sides of the road.
The experiment caused intense criticism both of the function and appearance of the street and led to a requirement for further calming and some embellishment of the street."
