Traffic Management Strategies

AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification Unit 2A: In this lesson we look at the what traffic management strategies are available to reduce congestion in urban areas and some examples of how this can be done.

The lesson has a retrieval practice starter. We then introduce the problems of traffic congestion in urban areas. In the first task the pupils use hexagons to think about the impacts of traffic congestion. We then introduce ‘carrot’ and ‘stick’ stratgeies and the students go through a range of example strategies and categorise them into ‘carrot’ and ‘stick’ strategies, ranking them in order of effectiveness and explaining their top choices. We then look at two examples of cities (Singapore and Beijing) that have adopted both of these strategies. Using a variety of videos and information slides the pupils makes notes of whether they are ‘carrot’ or ‘stick’ stratagies. We finish with a GCSE-style practice question with some guidance and structure provided for the students.

Hope this saves you some valuable planning time.
