5.7 Summary
The case studies have identified the following points related to the effectiveness in achieving high quality outcomes for the promotion of active travel policy;
There is substantial time lag in the development of major schemes between key decision points and scheme completion, hence outcomes commonly accord with previous policies rather than current ones;
