Circulation
Observations
51 the current network of the streets is a whole of
developed ramifications goshawks of the main roads of
communication.
The 52 great transportation routes were conceived to
receive the pedestrians or of cartages, they do not answer the mechanical means
of transport today any more.
53 the dimensioning of the streets, from now on
inappropriate, is opposed to the use new mechanical speeds and the regular rise
of the city.
The 54 distances between the crossings of the streets are
too weak.
55 the width of the streets is too insufficient. To seek
to widen those is often an operation expensive and besides
inoperative.
56 Opposite mechanical speeds, the network of the streets
appears irrational, conformity, diversity, flexibility, exactitude
lack.
57 Of the layouts sumptuary, working towards
representative ends, could or can constitute heavy hindrances to
traffic.
58 In many cases, the network of railways (railroads)
became, during the urban expansion, a serious obstacle with the urbanization.
It locks up districts of dwellings, depriving them of the useful contacts with
the vital elements of the city.
It is necessary to require
59 Of the useful analyzes must be made, on rigorous
statistics, of the whole of circulation in the city and its area, work which
will raise the beds of circulation and the quality of their flows.
The 60 lanes must be classified according to their nature
and built according to the vehicles and their speeds.
The 61 crossings with strong flows will be arranged in
circulation continuous by changes of levels.
62 the pedestrian must be able to follow other ways that
the car
63 Thestreets must be differentiated according to their
destinations: streets of dwellings, streets of walks, streets of transit, ways
main.
64 Thegreen areas must insulate, in theory the beds of
great circulation.

The plan of urban displacement of the town of
Yaoundé
The Consortium Louis Berger/Beta Consult (the Consultant)
subscribed on May 4th, 2010 to contract N°047/M/CUY/CPM/10 for the
Development of a Plan of Urban Displacements (PDU) of the town of
Yaoundé. This contract was approved on May 10th, 2010 by the Delegate of
the Government at the Urban Council of Yaoundé (UCY). Its financing will
be ensured by funds D registered in the Budget of the Ministry for the Urban
Development and Housing of 2009.
The PDU of Yaoundé has the following general aims:
· improvement of the urban mobility and the reduction of
times of displacements;
· improvement of accessibility to the peripheral
districts;
· improvement of the road safety for all the categories of
users;
· a strategy of regulation of the global offer of public
transport and the definition of the principles of exploitation of the grid
systems;
· a diagram of organization of transport to the horizon
2020, with programming of the actions necessary to the installation of the PDU
at short-term.
The TOR also includes a certain number of particular requests:
· the creation of a clean network of «pedestrians
displacements» on the scale of the agglomeration, by the development of an
adapted information system strategic plan;
· improvement of the conditions of the urban transit and the
management of the breaking bulks (stations, platforms and spaces parking);
· the forecast of installations allowing to dissociate the
transport of the other urban activities by in particular imposing a new
division of the roadway system in favor of the activities and spaces of
leisure, and the walking;
· the examination of the appropriateness of the installation
of an organizing authority of transport on the level of the town of
Yaoundé in order to ensure the coherence of the sectorial policies and
to coordinate the actions of the various actors.
The study of the PDU is divided into three missions as
follows:
Mission n°1: Concerted diagnosis
Mission n°2: Development of the Plan of Urban
Displacements
Mission n°3: Planning and finalization
