One-way roads can be planned as an advantage to bicycle traffic. Decisions must be taken about street parking and whether to install facilities or markings for contra-flow cycling. Contra –flow cycling is safe. By Troels Andersen, Odense municipality… Read more

It’s important to carefully weigh all the advantages and disadvantages before choosing between a bicycle bridge or a tunnel. Then comes the choice of a number of details that may be crucial to the quality of the solution. Stairs can be designed with… Read more

Cyclists should be factored into the design of pedestrian zones, squares, and marketplaces. Cyclists contribute to urban life and should have access to all areas provided they pose no risk to pedestrians. Time limits may be imposed on cyclist access.… Read more

Roundabouts can be designed in many different shapes and sizes. Apart from the difference in cost, the design is largely determined by traffic volume and speed. Cycle tracks are only necessary in large roundabouts. Sometimes it’s best for cyclists to… Read more

There are a number of detail solutions that make life easier for cyclists and that are particularly useful at signal controlled intersections. Happy cyclists bike more. There are approved standard solutions as well as solutions that require dispensat… Read more

Signal controlled intersections are extremely important for cyclist safety and accessibility. Signal control doesn’t control everything, so road user behaviour should be reinforced by the correct detail solution, which depends on traffic flows and av… Read more

Right of way intersections should make road users clearly aware of where they should go. It’s a good idea to reduce speeds at crossings. Set- back cycle tracks are another solution that can be applied to two-way cycle tracks at right of way intersect… Read more

Two-way cycle tracks can either be placed along the road or with their own layout away from the road. There are binding rules for their placement along the roads. The design of track termination and intersections is particularly important. By Troels… Read more

One-way cycle tracks are the best standard solution for cyclists. They can be designed in many different ways. However, width is the crucial factor and here there must be no compromise. Physical segregation can be constructed in a number of ways, but… Read more

Edge lanes are better than nothing, but they have little effect.  There are issues with parked cars and when cyclists need to turn left. By Troels Andersen Edge lanes can be used in rural areas and through villages. In addition to making it possible… Read more
