The document discusses various aspects of designing infrastructure to promote cycling, including the cycling network, links, and junctions. It notes that the network needs to go beyond desire lines on a map and considers level of service assessments. For links, it discusses different types of infrastructure like segregated paths and cycle streets in low traffic areas. Key factors for cycle streets are low motor traffic and speeds with high bicycle volumes. The document also provides several examples of junction designs that prioritize cycling.

- 5. @johnstreetdales j.dales@urbanmovement.co.uk a b c d e f g h i j k a. bi-directional? b. tree pits; c. sign poles; d. guard-railing; e. tactile paving; f. inactive frontage; g. excessive carriageway; h. low ped/cyc priority at signals; i. cycle track switches sides; j. colour?; k. badly-located boxes
- 6. @johnstreetdales j.dales@urbanmovement.co.uk 4.5m 7.5m 1.5m 7.5m 3.2m Road in Olympic Park as built
- 7. @johnstreetdales j.dales@urbanmovement.co.uk 4.5m 7.5m 1.5m 7.5m 3.2m Road in Olympic Park redesign proposed
- 8. @johnstreetdales j.dales@urbanmovement.co.uk The Network Links Junctions
- 9. @johnstreetdales j.dales@urbanmovement.co.uk Vehicular Cycling Shared Space Segregation
- 10. @johnstreetdales j.dales@urbanmovement.co.uk What conditions do we need to create in order for (many) more people to consider cycling a safe and attractive form of transport for many everyday journeys?
- 11. @johnstreetdales j.dales@urbanmovement.co.uk The Dutch dont do that (is not enough reason to dismiss an idea)
- 13. @johnstreetdales j.dales@urbanmovement.co.uk Cycling network plans ultimately need to be more than desire lines on a map
- 14. @johnstreetdales j.dales@urbanmovement.co.uk Hard to see here, but Munichs cycle map is a good one
- 16. @johnstreetdales j.dales@urbanmovement.co.uk Cycling Level of Service assessment is useful but may need a lite version
- 25. @johnstreetdales j.dales@urbanmovement.co.uk Royal College Street Phase 1 scheme implemented 2013. Cycling volumes increased by 70% from 2011 to 2014. Cyclist injury rate before was 4/year; rate in 15 months after was <2/year (none serious). Difference in the % of women cycling on RCS compared to alternatives varied from 9% to 17% depending on period. Difference in the % of people cycling in normal clothes on RCS compared to alternatives varied from 8% to 24% depending on period. Few young or old people (<18 years and >60 years) were observed on RCS or alternatives, though the proportions were appreciably larger on RCS than alternatives.
- 26. @johnstreetdales j.dales@urbanmovement.co.uk Bristol. Light segregation? These will break your car!
- 28. @johnstreetdales j.dales@urbanmovement.co.uk New track in Baldwin St, Bristol
- 29. @johnstreetdales j.dales@urbanmovement.co.uk Badly-articulated entry (outside the red line) reduces utility of this new track in Southampton.

- 31. @johnstreetdales j.dales@urbanmovement.co.uk Old Shoreham Road - before
- 32. @johnstreetdales j.dales@urbanmovement.co.uk Old Shoreham Road - after
- 33. @johnstreetdales j.dales@urbanmovement.co.uk CS3, Cable St. Possible Cycle Street
- 35. @johnstreetdales j.dales@urbanmovement.co.uk Key to the success of Cycle Streets is for motor traffic speeds and volumes to be relatively low, and cycle volumes to be relatively high. Max speed limit must be <20mph or less. Advised max daily traffic flow is 2,000 vehicles in the Netherlands (CROW Manual) and 3,000 in Germany. Cycle volumes should be no lower than those for general traffic, and ideally higher. Dutch guidance states Cycle Streets should have (potential for) flows of at least 1,000 cycles/day and that cycles should generally outnumber other vehicles 2:1 during peak hours.
- 36. @johnstreetdales j.dales@urbanmovement.co.uk Vehicular Cycling? Shared Space? Segregation?
- 37. @johnstreetdales j.dales@urbanmovement.co.uk Paths away from traffic altogether Streets where traffic is quiet Segregation on busy streets
