This selection planning document helps road managers to decide on the placement of bollards in cycle paths. In addition, it gives recommendations on the safe design of locations where bollards are deemed necessary. The selection schedule was completely renewed in December 2014 based on extensive practical evaluations.
Tour de Force, a partnership between governments, market, civil society organisations and research institutes, aims to increase the number of kilometres cycled in the Netherlands with 20 percent over the next decade. This is why they drafted a joint Bicycle Agenda 2017-2020 with several actions to overcome barriers and exploit opportunities in cities, rural areas and in combination with public transport. Priorities among others include: more space for bicycles in cities and improved interchanges on public transport.
"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".
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.
This note summarises the key changes in the revised Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions (TSRGD) 20161 that affect cycling and walking. It has been compiled from an initial reading of the document but at this early stage it is likely that there are some omissions and it should be regarded as work in progress; we invite comments, suggestions, questions, insights and feedback2.
In addition, DfT have indicated that they will be providing some accompanying advice and there will be an update of the Traffic Signs Manual in due course.
Despite significant national and local efforts over the last decade to stimulate uptake of cycling in the UK, levels of cycling (particularly utility cycling) remain at around 2% of journeys. Understanding of cycling behaviour and subsequent development of interventions has typically been undertaken using an individualist approach, often relying on psychologically based models of behaviour.
Independent evidence review of national and international studies showing the economic value of investing in cycling infrastructure.
The review found that existing methods of appraisal do not incorporate the full extent of economic benefits associated with cycling. The review found these potential benefits:
