Facing the challenges of motorised traffic, many cities around the globe started implementing measures to transform their urban transport systems. One of the major challenges for the success of adequate policies is not only their effectiveness but also whether they are accepted by city residents. With a quantitative case study in four neighbourhoods in Frankfurt am Main (N = 821), this article investigates the acceptability of three measures: (i) parking management, (ii) the conversion of car lanes into cycle lanes and (iii) the closure of an inner city arterial road to car traffic. The results show a surprisingly high acceptability for all measures if the benefits for local residents are tangible. Thus, successful policy packages may combine push measures with either pull measures, as suggested frequently in the literature, or with improvements for other land uses (e.g. re-using former car-parking spaces for non-transport purposes, such as greenery or seating areas). Furthermore, the perceived effectiveness, daily travel practices and intentions to reduce car use, the built environment and, to a lesser degree, socio-demographics explain differences in acceptability by population group.

面对机动交通的挑战，全球许多城市开始采取措施改造城市交通系统。适当政策能否成功的主要挑战之一不仅在于政策的有效性，还在于政策是否被城市居民接受。本文通过对美因河畔法兰克福的四个社区（N = 821）的定量案例研究，调查了三项措施的可接受性：(i) 停车管理，(ii) 将车道改造成自行车道，以及 (iii) 关闭一条内城主干道的汽车交通。结果表明，如果当地居民能够切实受益，那么所有措施的接受度都会高得惊人。因此，成功的一揽子政策可以将推动措施与拉动措施结合起来，正如文献中经常建议的那样，或者与其他土地利用的改善相结合（例如，将以前的停车场空间重新用于非交通目的，例如绿化或休息区） ）。此外，感知效果、日常出行习惯和减少汽车使用的意图、建筑环境以及较小程度的社会人口统计数据解释了不同人群可接受性的差异。
