First paragraph: This section presents the motives for rural road planning. Traffic and transportation should be conceived as derived functions rather than as objectives in themselves. They originate from social activities, the volumes and characteristics of traffic depending on both location and type of activity. The location of the various land uses is a task of spatial planning. As a result, spatial planning forms an important determinant of traffic volumes and characteristics.
