The Cambridge – Milton Keynes – Oxford corridor is one of the fastest-growing, most productive, most innovative places in the UK. It could become Britain’s Silicon Valley. But it could also stagnate, strangled by unaffordable housing and inadequate transport.
Report shows that 'strong' Mini Holland' interventions generate more walking and more cycling, and don't identifiably increase traffic in surrounding areas, suggesting that providing good infra drives genuine growth in active travel.
This guide is from London Cycling Campaign and Living Streets and draws on expertise from those who’ve designed, implemented and campaigned for award-winning low traffic neighbourhoods. It is a companion document to “Low traffic neighbourhoods: What, why, how?”, designed to help officers, designers and others begin to understand some of the complexities, nuances and capabilities of these schemes in more detail.
This leaflet gives advice on the range of traffic environments and circumstances in which various options for permitting cycling in the contraflow direction in one-way streets may be appropriate.
The advice draws together guidance in existing publications from the Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions (DETR) and others. It is supplemented by the results of recent research undertaken by Transport Research Laboratory (TRL) on behalf of the DETR. This is reported fully in TRL Report 358.
This week's Good Cycling Facility is a network of bi-directional cycleways completing bypassing a large roundabout on the outskirts of Utrecht - the 'Berekuil', or bearpit.
