Research findings of the 'cut'
In this collection you can read the research findings of the pilot Weesperstraat, also known as the 'cut'.
This research report answers the questions:
* How was the traffic development during the adjustment period (first 4 weeks of the pilot)?
* What were the effects of the pilot on car use, network load, traffic flow and accessibility of the city?
* What were the effects on the other modes of transport (public transport, bicycle and pedestrian)?
* What were the consequences for air quality, noise pollution and road safety?
* What were the effects of the pilot for the different target groups such as residents, visitors, emergency and emergency services, logistics, taxi, additional public transport and local entrepreneurs?
* How well do the measured effects correspond with the traffic simulations in advance and how can any differences be explained. -

About the Pilot 'cut' Weesperstraat
Why dit the City 'cut' in Weesperstraat for six weeks? Dive into the plan, background and monitoringinstruments.
In Januari 2020 the city council adopted the Amsterdam Low-Traffic (autoluw) Agenda. Hence the Pilot cut Weesperstraat was realised. Aim of the Agenda Low-traffic Amsterdam is a liveable and accessible city, in which more space is created for pedestrians, cyclists, public transport, greenery, facilities and accommodation in the city.
This collection is a collection of policy and preliminary research on low-traffic traffic in Amsterdam and more specific research on the experiment 'the cut' in Amsterdam. The aim of this pilot is to map out the traffic-related effects of such an intervention. You will also find sources for critical notes on the pilot here. -

Urban street experiments
What are street experiments and can they transform our cities?
Street experiments in the city are a growing phenomenon all over the world. They can help with small, but also large spatial problems that the city has. What is a street experiment and how can you approach it?
Prof. Dr. Ir. Luca Bertolini (UvA) describes a street experiment as an "intentional and temporary change in street use, regulation and/or way to explore a systematic change in urban mobility" (see article 'From "streets for traffic" to "streets for people"').
In this collection you will find a toolkit (guide) for conducting street experiments. Learn more about the transformative power of street experimentation and a handbook for believing it. Finally, there are a number of examples of street experiments that have been carried out in Amsterdam.
