Residential satisfaction close to highways: The impact of accessibility, nuisances and highway adjustment projects

In this paper we focus on gaining insight into the residential satisfaction of households near highways, based on survey data collected among 1225 respondents in the Netherlands living within 1000m from a highway. Ordinal regression was used to study the impact of highway externalities on residential satisfaction. Moreover, we gained first insights into the reactions of people on highway adjustment projects, by studying people’s expectations towards residential satisfaction as a consequence of the project with use of a multinomial logistic regression analysis.
