Notes de l'éditeur
- Safety – cycling on roads Cycling must be safe And PERCEIVED to be safe
- Spaces where cycling is safer but often banned including Parks
- Important graph Use to assess how changes in speed / volume may influence what provision is appropritate
- 7mph / 11 kph cycles generally in straight line – space increases above this by 0.2m but increases rapidly when a cyclist is going slower 3mph needs 0.8m more space Work on the basis of 1m ‘dynamic width’
- Primary Not many schemes put cyclists in this position Cycle Streets an example or shared space schemes Secondary – more common on busier roads -
- These are recommended minimum widths required for motor vehicles to overtake cyclists riding in the secondary road position, as taught in National Standards cycle training. This is not necessarily the lane width required as traffic may be expected to move into the adjacent traffic lane as appropriate or the width may comprise a cycle lane and a general traffic lane. The widths and passing distances are intended as tools to assist the designer to assess different situations on a case by case basis, with a good understanding of their implications. Generally lane widths of between 3.2m and 3.9m are not recommended on cycle routes unless traffic speeds and volumes are low so that drivers can cross easily into the opposing lane to pass a cyclist comfortably. Lane widths of 4m to 4.5m may be acceptable depending on the traffic volume and proportion of large vehicles. If a lane width in excess of 4.5m is available, this should normally be used to provide a cycle lane adjacent to the general traffic lane.
- Outer radius 1.65 to 2.65m depending on type of cycle
- Models available to model potential cycling trips to work based on census and demographic data - thicker blue lines most cyclists 100+ a day
- Billingham By pass – protected space but no priority at side road cul de sac
- Baldwin Street in Bristol two way cycle track taking road space from traffic. Cycle City Ambition Fund 1 and 2
- Spot this street? Work for Northumbria Uni – John Dobson Street taken up by Newcastle City Council for CCAF1
- Old Shoreham Road in Brighton – Danish Style scheme – raised and kerb sepreration – priority over side road - increased cycling Figures and protected trees
- Sletch up model view of cycle tracks along Broadway in North Tyneside as part of Cycle Safety Fund scheme.
- Broadway North Tyneside Sustrans cycle safety scheme
- Great North Road in Newcastle – Sustrans cycle safety scheme – young woman was cycling along the pavement until the protected lane started . Other examples in Royal College St London. The daily flows increased by 72% •(from 956 to 1,651)
- Great North Road Newcastle – crossing bent in from track so vehicles can pull off main road
- University Road York - crossing in line with cycle track
- Where cycle track or lane meets a bus stop good practice is to take around the bus shelter – Oxford Rd Manchester
- Zebra crossings along The Avenue used by cyclists in Hull for over 15 years , Traffic sign regulations now allow a cycling zebra crossing April 2016.
- Early start, Cambridge with Trixi Mirror for Lorry drivers to see if cyclists coming up inside Inset, Bow, cycle signals also now in Gateshead
- 2 stage turns at signals for cyclists – it also means that cyclists well ahead of traffic stop line so more visible . Heaton Road Newcastle planning first one
- Southampton trial Used in DK & NL Mixed response so far
- 20 zones now allowed with no traffic calming measures as long as most roads average speed is near 20mph.
- Simple measures that give cyclists an advantage and blurs the highway boundary – expensive – new Road Brighton
- Common in Europe – Brussels over 200 One way streets with two way cycling . Been allowed under TSDGR since 2012
