• Recommendations in response to the findings of this traffic analysis aimed at improving traffic flow in the study area, such as redesign of Outer Ring Road junctions so as to increase their capacity and the reopening of the N4-Esker Lane slip-road,  possibly as a left-out only exit onto a segregated service lane;
