The traffic density and flow within the region changed dramatically with the closure of Kai Tak Airport, most notably in the decrease in taxis and coaches. However, there had been an increase in heavy vehicle traffic, particularly those involved in the construction industry. The continued development of Tseung Kwan O ... in addition to the continual redevelopment of old housing estates in the region, caused an increased amount of heavy vehicle traffic. Environmental hazards, such as the exhaust fumes emitted from heavy lorries, had been of growing concern. 1, record 2, English, - heavy%20vehicle%20traffic

«Le trafic poids lourds sera moitié moindre». Jean-marc Berthier, directeur gérant du groupement d’intérêt économique du tunnel du Mont-Blanc. [...] Le projet de rénovation technique, d’intervention et d’exploitation est le système optimal pour faire face à un trafic bidirectionnel à l'intérieur d’un tunnel de grande longueur. [...] En fait, la capacité actuelle du tunnel sera maintenant de quatre-vingt-dix poids lourds par heure dans les deux sens, soit 2 100 poids lourds par jour qui représentent un peu moins de la moitié du trafic d’avant la catastrophe. 3, record 2, French, - trafic%20poids%20lourds

«La fermeture du Gothard? pour l’instant, cela ne change rien à nos itinéraires», observe le chauffeur. [...] Du côté de la gendarmerie vaudoise, Georges Favre [...] confirme ce constat : «Même si on ne peut pas faire de comptage spécifique pour les camions, on remarque une légère augmentation du trafic poids lourds. Il y a bien quelques trains routiers belges et néerlandais que nous n’avons pas l’habitude de voir par ici, mais rien de spectaculaire.» 4, record 2, French, - trafic%20poids%20lourds
