Safe cycling routes: Seven road safety indicators for cycling routes
S. E. Gebhard, W.A.M. WeijermarsConference room
- Cycling safety is not only about providing the safest infrastructure for the road; sometimes the safest option is an alternative route.
- Ideally a cycling network has its own hierarchy which prioritises separation from high-speed and high-mass vehicles.
- Seven indicators of cycling route safety have been identified relating to minimising exposure and conflicts with motorised traffic.
- Cycling routes can be evaluated based on the indicators and compared with route alternatives.
- Insight into route safety can be used to make safe routes more attractive, improve the safety of popular routes, or design new safe routes.
