Conclusion Assuming a apparently timeless rational factor 3 between the levels of a road hierarchy offers the opportunity: to make a preliminary global traffic model to be checked afterwards by experts stressing a total network with all road classes rather than calculating the temporary requirements of separate roads; keeping awareness of regularities in the existing urban tissue to be applied in urban design.

Conclusion (2) The model can globally predict traffic intensities and potentials of future connections without extensive research of origins and destinations between traffic poles. It is simple and visually convincing for administrators and designers, open to professional criticism improvements and adaptations to local contexts. It can be integrated with wet networks modeled in the same way to predict its expensive crossings. December 31, 2018
