Signal controlled intersections – cycle friendly s…

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 – safe cycling sol…

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

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

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

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

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

Cycle lanes

Cycle lanes are a cheaper alternative to cycle tracks, but have a smaller positive effect. The cross profile must be sufficiently wide, and it’s important to choose the correct solution for parking, and especially for bus stops. By Troels Andersen, O… Read more

Mixed traffic

Cyclists can cycle in mixed traffic, but various types of speed regulation may be necessary. Good solutions for bus stops and parked cars are also necessary to keep them from becoming obstacles to cyclists. By Troels Andersen Cyclists often feel inse… Read more

Adapted design

The infrastructure must be adapted to the surroundings, i.e. the neighborhood or the rural area it passes through. Shopping roads, residential streets, traffic arteries, main roads, and cycle tracks with their own layout all have highly different nee… Read more

The UCI’s commitment to “Cycling for All”

The world governing body for the sport of cycling, the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) is committed to promoting and advocating for cycling in all forms across the globe. An overview of the UCI Cycling for All mission and its activities are detai… Read more
