Since the second World War there has been an increasing number of vehicles in Europe. This development was initially welcomed as a sign of welfare and progress; it allowed people to go beyond their traditional boundaries. Since the 70s the reactions were not only positive. The side-effects of the volume of cars and trucks became more and more apparent. Politicians were urged to take appropriate measures which proved to be far from easy. This study wants to explore some of the dimensions of the problems as experienced by many people in Tyrol, Austria. The result of it is a precondition for any form of efficient action. Attention has been paid to through-going traffic, to free-time (tourist) traffic, and to the difficulties to stick to the preventive decisions.

The Author: After his studies in physics and philosophy, the author worked at academic institutes in Amsterdam, Liège, Utrecht, Boston, and Innsbruck. These experiences aroused his interest in the relationship between science, technology and society. Since 1982 he has focused on artificial intelligence and cognitive science with an increasing emphasis on assessment. His move to Innsbruck in 1991 confronted him with the Tyrolean problem of (transit) traffic. His main publications are on the history and philosophy of science and technology.

Contents: The social construction of the problem "Transit traffic" (1946-1996) - Transportation policy: Austrian holiday traffic - Free-time traffic, an attempt at analysis - Can a decision not to build a road be final?
