Introduction: This leaflet introduces and summarises the recently published Guidelines for Cycle Audit and Cycle Review. The Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions’ (DETR) welcomes the introduction of detailed guidance on the practice of carrying out Cycle Audit on new schemes, and Cycle Review on existing networks.
All changes to the highway network, including maintenance schemes, should be the subject of a cycle audit. Where safety audits identify that normally recognised design standards cannot be met, projects should be the subject of a risk assessment that involves user representatives.
