Transport connections including car traffic, sea-lanes, rail traffic, pedestrian communication are presented in the paper. Network of communication connection in Royan Marin and Brighton Marina Village is subject of the paper. The paper covered the role of road transport in combination with air, sea, rail transport and shared zones for pedestrians and vehicles
