Impact evaluation methodologies employ various performance indicators and concern traffic performance, road safety and environmental externalities. This chapter applies the impact evaluation methodologies with regards to traffic performance and road safety. The A4‐A86 junction in the Ile‐de‐France region is often cited as the most congested site across Europe and with a large number of traffic crashes. The chapter uses the A4‐A86 case study to illustrate the potential benefits of such an application while considering the possible effect on road safety performance. It first describes the A4‐A86 is presented and the intelligent transport systems (ITS) application of a managed lane operations is described. The chapter then evaluates the ITS application in terms of traffic management efficiency. This is followed by safety analysis. Finally, the chapter proposes a measure evaluation context integrating multiple aspects. In particular, the chapter demonstrates that traffic performance amelioration does not necessarily imply better safety performance.
