Some of the most popular applications of CSS in rural communities are transportation improvements that foster downtown revitalization, especially in areas where the Main Street is a regional highway. Towns and villages throughout the world have used CSS techniques for more than 20 years to support development initiatives by reconfiguring roadway lanes and street networks to attract shoppers and residents while cutting down on high-speed, through traffic; improving pedestrian facilities & civic spaces; and managing parking in central business districts and surrounding neighborhoods.
