Abstract: identify the areas within the municipality which are most vulnerable to sea level rise and to develop adaptive responses and interventions in order to maintain road functionality. Parameters modeled were traffic volume changes, travel time and volume to capacity ratio – for the main roads in the areas identified. How vulnerability and the development of adaptive strategies to sea level rise could be addressed by municipalities.
