In the last period of time, global economic development has also had strong effects on road traffic. In this context, in view of the forecasts confirming that the upward trend in traffic will continue at least at the current level, effective and sustainable measures are needed to be taken into account by extending the area of intervention to large urban agglomerations. The urban analysis of large urban agglomerations should not be limited to their administrative area, but should be extended to neighbourhoods and other administrative areas, in order to be possible to find optimal general solutions for their operation and development of perspective. At the same time, several factors / specialists: traffic engineers, public administration, specialists in urbanism etc., must contribute to the management of urban development, and an essential part is transport (traffic) with direct influence on economic development, social impact, environmental protection. The paper aims to present some solutions that the administrators of local, county and national transport networks, specialists in the field and other parties involved have proposed and partially implemented in the metropolitan area of Timisoara, in the western part of Romania.
