Overview

Encouraging more people to cycle is increasingly being seen as a vital part of any local authority plan to tackle congestion, improve air quality, promote physical activity and improve accessibility. This design guide brings together and updates guidance previously available in a number of draft Local Transport Notes and other documents. Although its focus is the design of cycle infrastructure, parts of its advice are equally appropriate to improving conditions for pedestrians. By bringing together relevant advice in a single document, this guide will make it easier for local authorities to decide what special provision, if any, is required to encourage more people to cycle.The contents of the guide include: General design parameters - including overtaking by motor vehicles and dimensions of cycles; Signing issues - including the 'give way' sign and the cycle symbol; Network management - including road closures and parking control; Reducing vehicles speeds on cycle routes - including cycle bypasses and road humps; Bus and tram routes - including tram stops and bus gates; Cycle lanes - including mandatory cycle lanes and cycle lane widths; Off road cycle routes - including design speeds and surfaces; Junctions - including visibility criteria at junctions and advanced stop lines; Cycle track crossings - including signal controlled crossings and parallel crossings; Cycle parking - including locations for cycle parking and cycle parking equipment; and, Public transport integration - including cycle carriage on trains and routes to stations.
