Shared:Transport
Concept
Transportation at the RDM can be divided in to two main categories; over land and over water. This translates into (motorized) public transportation, pedestrians, cyclist, boats and cars.
When people arrive by boat, either a ferry or cruise ship, they will dock at the Transport Hub which connects passengers, cars and ferries. From there visitors can choose to go directly to the RDM-area by using the Islands or walk through the Continuality landscape in case they know their way around. Otherwise they are led trough The Wave Phenomena which showcases all the projects, companies and institutions present at the RDM. Once they know where to go they can either continue their walk over the pier or use the Islands to go to their destination.
It is very important that every project is connected to the water. Therefore there are no projects enclosed by other projects and the Islands can reach every project. The pier is high enough for the Islands to go underneath. Of course, it is also possible to have bridges or other connections between different projects when there is a special interaction between them.
Detailed information
Accessibility by land
When people use public transportation they get out at a parking lot. Parking lots are spread out around the RDM-area; this way the RDM-area stays free of cars and by having several parking lots safety increases. However, at specific hours early in the morning trucks are allowed at the RDM-area to supply the projects of goods.
Visitors that arrive at a parking lot only have to go one street over to enter the RDM-area. The boardwalk will guide the visitors along the projects where they can also use the Islands to travel over water.

Routing between projects
It is very important that every project is connected to the water. Therefore there are no projects enclosed by other projects and the Islands can reach every project. The pier is high enough for the Islands to go underneath. Of course, it is also possible to have bridges or other connections between different projects when there is a special interaction between them.
More information about the routing in the RDM area, you can find on the Landscape and public space page.
