This document aims simply to collect in one place a range of urban cycle design guidance, for features great and small, from different countries. We looked up what Compendiummeans, and we’ve tried to adhere to the following definition: “A concise, yet comprehensive, compilation of a body of knowledge.” What we wanted to do was to help provide a reference resource for fellow practitioners and others involved in making streets more attractive to cycle along.

This guide and accompanying spreadsheet is aimed at anyone involved in the planning of London’s streets, whether TfL staff, local authority officers, elected members, consultants assessing the impact ofdevelopment proposals, developers, or theiragents. It is intended to ensure that the design of pedestrian footways and crossings areappropriate to the volume and type of users of that environment. The guidance is applicable whether evaluating a new design or assessing an existing footway.
