PLANNING AND DESIGNING FOR CYCLISTS

THE CONCEPT OF INVISIBLE INFRASTRUCTURE
A cycle friendly environment
- Does not depend upon ‘visible’ cycle-specific measures.
- It is created by the reduction of traffic speeds and volumes.
But how?

ARE CYCLISTS SAFER ON SEGREGATED / OFF-ROAD CYCLE TRACKS?
80
THE SHORT ANSWER:
81
NO.
(the long answer: it depends)
82
IN THE HIERARCHY OF PROVISION …
