The four-stage principle

Step 1
Measures which reduce the demand for transport and the choice of modes of transport
This step include planning, control, regulation, effect and information bearing on both the transport
system and society at large, in order to reduce the demand for transport or transfer transport to
less space-requiring, safer or more environmentally friendly means of conveyance.

Step 2
Measures that give more efficient utilisation of the existing road network
This step include input within control, regulation, effect and information directed towards the
various components of the road transport system, in order to use the existing road network more
efficiently, more safely and in a more environmentally friendly way.

Step 3
Road improvement measures
This step include improvement measures and rebuilding of existing segments, for example, traffic
safety measures or load-bearing capacity measures.

Step 4
New investment and major rebuilding measures
This step include rebuilding and new building measures, which often demand new land, for
example, new segments of road.
