This very large roundabout in the outskirts of Nijmegen, dominated by motor traffic, is safe and easy for anyone cycling (or indeed on a mobility scooter) to negotiate, thanks to a wide, bi-directi
"This note gives up-to-date advice on planning, legal and detailed design aspects of providing facilities for cyclists. It complements guidance provided in LTN 1/86 "Cyclists at Road Crossings and Junctions", LTN 2/86 "Shared Use by Cyclists and Pedestrians", and LTN 2/87 "Signs for Cycle Facilities".
This weeks' Good Facility is an example of the kind of bread-and-butter treatment that is found at busy junctions in the Netherlands - signal-separated crossings on all arms of the junction for
It is crucial to improve cycling safety in the United States. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s injury statistics Web site (WISQARS) reports that in 2014, there were 902 cyclist fatalities and 35 206 serious cyclist injuries (requiring hospi- talization). The United States has much higher fatality and serious injury rates per kilometer cycled than comparable high- income countries.
Cambridgeshire County Council (CCC) are implementing a series of ‘floating bus stops’ within the Cambridgeshire area. Due to this new planned infrastructure, CCC are interested in establishing whether the new ‘floating bus stops’ designs are generating any unsafe interactions between road users, in particular cyclists and pedestrians. To do this, two sites where ‘floating bus stops’ are already in place were monitored: Huntingdon Road and Hills Road.
The Strategic Road Network (SRN) makes up a small proportion of the national highway network but has an important role to play in supporting journeys made by cycle as referenced in the Highways England Cycling Strategy.
This document provides requirements and advice relevant to the SRN for the planning and design of infrastructure for cycle traffic and is intended to be used by highway design professionals.
