Abstract
The environmental effects of road traffic and the possibilities of decreasing it are described in this report. It is not possible, with today`s road traffic system, to decrease environmental effects to the level of what man and nature can tolerate. In three pictures of the future, a free description is therefore given of possible transport systems adapted to the environment, with the goal to stimulate new thoughts and debate about the road traffic of the future. In the first vision of the future, administrative systems are presented to render the road traffic more effective. Through advanced ride-sharing and logistics systems, the same possibilities of transportation can be offered with less traffic. In the second vision, a system of cars on high rails is presented to replace car traffic, especially in middle-sized cities. These cars on rails are without a driver and are electrically operated. The traffic is managed through orders like today`s taxi services, but the rating is done through a computer system. The system of cars on rails is characterized by a good adaption to the city environment and by very low emissions. In the third vision, an integrated transport system is presented based on road traffic. Through a

Through a paying system, traffic users are charged for the adverse effects they have on society and the environment. The passenger car will have an advanced environmentally-friendly technology. Transportation by railroad and car-trains will be integrated into the traditional road traffic system. Lastly, some questions are raised in the report about the possibility of creating an environmentally adapted transport system. It is important that politicians and society planners become aware of the choices that exist and that they participate in the debate.}
