They don't shed any light on the right 'name' for the treatments but certainly increase our understanding of the safety.<br /><br />http://us1.campaign-archive.com/?u=ff1da5e15da087f90981f4acb&id=624b49e197&e=d9f3dfa054<br /><br />Robyn DaviesRobyn Daviesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063598477760110192.post-9398396075827909072010-08-03T10:08:10.230+10:002010-08-03T10:08:10.230+10:00In Copenhagen a separated lane is called a cycle t...In Copenhagen a separated lane is called a cycle track. In Holland they obviously don't call them Copenhagen lanes because there infrastructure has been like that for decades and is much better. When are they appropriate or not? It is fairly simple. Using the CROW design manual you use the chart, which depends on road speed limits and traffic volumes. In Copenhagen most roads with speed limits greater than 40kmh have physical separation of cycling infrastructure (cycle tracks)and also in Holland most roads at 50kmh have separation as there residential speeds are 30kmh and less in 'Woonerf' streets. Bike paths should also be separated from pedestrians also where possible as they also go at different speeds. It is time to change the Aus. Roads standards for cycling infrastructure in this country, one that benefits all users.

This article uses "bikeway," "two-way path," and "separated path."<br /><br />http://www.streetsblog.org/2010/07/23/eyes-on-the-street-blast-of-thermoplast-on-flushing/Conorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12370221626363460395noreply@blogger.com
