Europese steden worden geconfronteerd met een ongekende bedreiging voor de stedelijke ruimte, omdat de trend naar grote SUV\u2019s ertoe dreigt te leiden dat grote aantallen parkeerplaatsen verdwijnen. Volgens een nieuw rapport<\/a> Volgens een vandaag door T&E en Clean Cities gepubliceerd rapport zullen alle steden tegen 2040 tussen de 8,5% en 14% van hun parkeerplaatsen op straat verliezen als de omvang van nieuwe auto\u2019s ongecontroleerd blijft toenemen.<\/p>\n

In het onderzoek wordt de aanhoudende groei van de verkoop van nieuwe auto\u2019s vanuit alle belangrijke invalshoeken geanalyseerd en vergeleken met een \u2018right-sizing\u2019-scenario, waarin beleidsmaatregelen ervoor zorgen dat de afmetingen van nieuwe auto\u2019s weer op het niveau van 2015 komen. Zonder ingrijpen zullen langere en bredere auto\u2019s het aantal voertuigen dat achter elkaar langs de straten kan worden geparkeerd drastisch verminderen.<\/p>\n

Steden raken duizenden parkeerplaatsen kwijt<\/h4>\n

Volgens de analyse zal Londen tegen 2040 naar verwachting tussen de 72.000 en 118.000 parkeerplaatsen op straat verliezen als gevolg van de toenemende omvang van auto\u2019s. Berlijn wordt geconfronteerd met een vergelijkbaar verlies van 71.000 tot 117.000 parkeerplaatsen, terwijl Rome te maken zou kunnen krijgen met een afname van 58.000 tot 95.000 parkeerplaatsen. Ook in Madrid (tot 41.000 parkeerplaatsen), Warschau (tot 17.000 parkeerplaatsen) en Parijs (tot 12.000 parkeerplaatsen) worden aanzienlijke capaciteitsverliezen verwacht.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Langer, breder en hoger<\/h4>\n

Volgens het rapport, waarin de toename in afmetingen van voertuigen sinds het jaar 2000 is geanalyseerd, neemt de gemiddelde lengte van nieuw verkochte auto\u2019s elk jaar met 1,2 cm toe. Uit het onderzoek blijkt tevens dat hun totale hoogte jaarlijks met 0,5 cm toeneemt.<\/p>\n

Uit eerdere onderzoeken is gebleken dat nieuwe auto\u2019s gemiddeld ook elk jaar 0,5 cm breder worden, terwijl de hoogte van de motorkap jaarlijks met 0,5 cm toeneemt. T&E heeft er al op gewezen dat autofabrikanten, ondanks de afnemende gezinsgrootte en het dalende aantal inzittenden per auto, zijn overgestapt van de productie van kleine auto\u2019s naar die van grotere modellen om zo hogere winsten te behalen.<\/p>\n

Lucien Mathieu, directeur Autozaken bij T&E: \u201cAutofabrikanten hebben een strategie gevolgd waarbij de voorkeur werd gegeven aan grotere, winstgevendere voertuigen boven kleinere modellen. Na 25 jaar van onophoudelijke groei worden onze wegen steeds meer gedomineerd door enorme SUV\u2019s die een fysiek gevaar vormen voor alle anderen. Het gevolg is dat steden en gemeenten onder druk staan om parkeerplaatsen groter te maken en vervolgens openbare ruimte op te offeren om de verloren gegane parkeerplaatsen te vervangen.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"
In de veiligheidsanalyse worden voertuigen met een lage motorkap en voertuigen met een hoge motorkap vergeleken die over hetzelfde niveau aan technologie voor het voorkomen van ongevallen beschikken. Uit de literatuur blijkt dat, als alle andere factoren gelijk blijven, een auto met een lage motorkap een kleiner risico vormt voor andere weggebruikers dan een SUV of T&E met een hoge motorkap.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Gevolgen voor de verkeersveiligheid<\/h4>\n

Ondanks de EU\u2019s \u2018Vision Zero\u2019<\/a> Als we de doelstelling willen halen om tegen 2050 het aantal dodelijke slachtoffers in het wegverkeer tot nul terug te brengen, zal de ongebreidelde toename van de afmetingen van auto\u2019s ernstige gevolgen hebben voor de verkeersveiligheid, zo blijkt ook uit de analyse.<\/p>\n

De prognose wijst op een groeiende kloof in het aantal dodelijke slachtoffers onder kwetsbare weggebruikers \u2013 voetgangers, fietsers, motorrijders en bromfietsers \u2013 waarbij deze kloof bij de huidige trends in 2040 zou oplopen tot 400 extra dodelijke slachtoffers ten opzichte van het \u2018right-sizing\u2019-scenario. In vergelijking met \u2018right-sizing\u2019 zouden bij voortzetting van de huidige trends in de periode 2026 tot 2040 2.500 volwassenen en 79 kinderen extra omkomen op de Europese wegen.<\/p>\n

Als de huidige trend zich voortzet, zouden er in 2040 40% meer kinderen die te voet onderweg zijn, omkomen bij auto-ongelukken, in vergelijking met een aanpassing van de voertuiggrootte. De toenemende hoogte van motorkappen, die naar verwachting in 2040 een gemiddelde van 86,2 cm zal bedragen, vormt een bijzonder risico voor kinderen. Terwijl volwassen voetgangers bij ongevallen hoogstwaarschijnlijk in de vitale organen of de romp worden geraakt, lopen kinderen een groter risico om op het hoofd of de borst te worden geraakt.<\/p>\n

Barbara Stoll, Senior Director van Clean Cities, zei hierover: \u201cTegen de natuurwetten valt niets in te brengen: grotere auto\u2019s betekenen meer gevaar op onze wegen, vooral voor kinderen en voetgangers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDeze trend is niet onvermijdelijk; het gaat hier om marketing ten koste van veiligheid en het algemeen belang. Regelgevers moeten in actie komen en maximale afmetingen voor nieuwe auto\u2019s vaststellen. Steden en overheden kunnen nu al maatregelen nemen door parkeertarieven en belastingen zo te structureren dat ze het risico weerspiegelen dat grotere auto\u2019s met zich meebrengen,\u201d voegde ze eraan toe.<\/p>\n

Optimalisatie van de personeelsbezetting<\/h4>\n

Om de bedreigingen voor de stedelijke ruimte en veiligheid het hoofd te bieden, roepen T&E en Clean Cities op tot onmiddellijke beleidswijzigingen om de Europese automarkt te laten overschakelen op veiligere, effici\u00ebntere en compactere modellen.<\/p>\n

Hun advies luidt: een maximumhoogte van 85 cm en een maximale breedte van 192 cm, die vanaf 2033 van toepassing zijn op nieuwe typegoedkeuringen en vanaf 2036 op alle nieuwe auto\u2019s die worden verkocht.\u00a0 Daarnaast moet er een nationale belastinghervorming komen: registratie- en wegenbelasting moeten de aankoop van te grote voertuigen actief ontmoedigen.<\/p>\n

Ten derde hebben we strengere voertuignormen nodig met betrekking tot de zichtbaarheid van kinderen: Euro NCAP moet zijn protocol dringend aanpassen om te beginnen met het testen van de zichtbaarheid van jonge kinderen vanuit de bestuurdersstoel.<\/p>\n

Ook de steden moeten maatregelen nemen: zij zullen de parkeertarieven en lokale belastingen moeten aanpassen op basis van de afmetingen en het gewicht van voertuigen. In het beste geval moeten zij bij de herziening van de EU-wetgeving inzake CO\u2082-uitstoot van auto\u2019s de voorkeur geven aan kleine elektrische auto\u2019s (niet langer dan 4,2 m).<\/p>\n

T&E<\/a> is Europa\u2019s belangrijkste pleitbezorger voor schoon vervoer en schone energie. De organisatie streeft naar een emissievrij vervoers- en energiesysteem dat betaalbaar en circulair is en zo min mogelijk gevolgen heeft voor onze gezondheid en het milieu. Schone steden<\/a> is een Europese coalitie van meer dan 150 ngo\u2019s en burgerinitiatieven die draagvlak cre\u00ebert voor de overstap van steden naar actieve, gedeelde en elektrische mobiliteit.<\/p>\n
