Complementary instruments

Management pedestrian crossing facilities will often be used together with specific infrastructure crossing measures. Besides, a whole range of other infrastructure and management measures will be relevant if the objective is to improve transport provision for pedestrians.

Generally, there will be no need to device special instruments to overcome financial barriers and no need to compensate losers. The political barriers connected to pedestrian planning might call for additional and behavioural measures.
