Abstract

The analysis and managing of present-day traffic problems has suffered a severe dwindling in its methodology that has made of mere traffic flow and an adequation to vehicle with the be all and end all of its issues. The paper puts forward a way of analizing streets accarding to their utility capacity and fixes this in terms not only of ground width and depth but also uses the building frontage giving onto these as a third determiner in the coefficient. Such an estimation of street space, the paper holds, would lead to a handling of the same in the light of development undergone rather than a mere flat dimension, thus high lighting its working utility. In a like manner, this new view would point up such pedestrian use areas as might be, this leading to both parking and vehicle use cut backs in the same. The paper also draws attention to some of the findings that lead to the drawing up of this new analysis, i.e. the fact that the Calle Barquillo can but offer 2 m2 for each 100 m2 of building facing on to it.
