A little more context would help here, I think. Obviously your question relates to (urban) geography or town planning � are you thinking of opposing yet another muddle-headed development proposal?

Geography coursework : ) My hypothesis is "Traffic increases as distance from the CBD decreases" i.e. the closer you are to the city, the more traffic there is.

I handed my rough draft to my teacher and she said that "an understanding of settlement hierarchy would help here". I've looked through all my text books but I still can't see how this would help to explain why there is an increase of traffic.

Any other exaplanations other than sphere of influence and counter-urbanisation would be very appriciated : )
