The impact on traffic congestion was determined in a case study for the highway stretch between Leuven and Brussels. Traffic flows in the morning commute were simulated in detail.

When 10% of all private cars are replaced by motorcycles, total time losses for all vehicles decrease by 40%.

When the case study results are extrapolated to the entire...
