One use of a one-way pair is to increase the vehicular capacity of a major route through a developed area such as a central business district . If not carefully treated with other traffic calming features, the benefit in vehicular capacity is offset by a potential for increased road user deaths, in particular people walking and biking. A one-way pair can be created by converting segments of two-way streets into one-way streets, which allows lanes to be added without widening. It also allows easier creation of
