desconcentrar el flujo

Spanish to English Other Environment & Ecology turismo
"-Se debe hacer una apuesta clara por el reforzamiento y ampliación del Camino de Santiago. Consolidar la ruta fisterrá como una experiencia contemporánea de contacto con la naturaleza y de disfrute del paisaje. Por supuesto, reforzar la nueva ruta Muros-Noia a Compostela, tanto porque posee un auténtico origen medieval como porque ayudará a ***desconcentrar*** el flujo de otros caminos tradicionales"

Me imagino que quiera decir "reducir el flujo de gente" (reduce/decrease the flow of people??). ¿Alguna sugerencia?

¡Gracias!

to reduce the flow from other traditional roads/paths

creo que "desconcentrar" no es el mejor verbo en este caso. to ease the flow, or reduce the flow, or alliviate the traffic...

spread the flow

Reduce the concentration by spreading the flow over a wider area.
Example sentence:

...could be achieved by spreading the flow over a wider area ...

Urban networks : spreading the flow of goods, people, and ideas

ease the concentration of flow/traffic

I think it would be good to keep the idea of concentration in the English translation.
My interpretation is that there is too much traffic on one of the available routes, & the idea is to ease the concentration on this route &, as Neil said, spread some of it over the other routes. But "de-concentrate" just doesn't work in English, IMO.
