	Segregated cycle facilities - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Segregated cycle facilities may consist of a separate road, track, path or lane that is designated for use by cyclists and from which motorised traffic is generally excluded.
		The use of segregated cycle facilities is a central dogma of many organisations associated with the environmental movement.

		In areas in which cycling is popular and encouraged, cycle-parking facilities using bicycle racks, lockable mini-garages, and patrolled cycle parks are used to reduce theft.
		Segregating bicycle and automobile traffic in cities has met with mixed success, both in terms of safety and bicycle promotion.
		In English-speaking countries, but also elsewhere, there tend to two broad themes associated with bicycle activism: one strand of opinion tends to be more overtly political and frequently has roots in the environmental movement, while the other tends to draw on the traditions of the established bicycle lobby.

		Segregation in this manner can be used safely for peak combined flows of up to 180 cyclists and pedestrians per hour per metre width, provided that flows are balanced and the facility has a minimum verge width of 0.5m separating it from an adjoining carriageway or is separated from it by railings.
		Cycle tracks should be demarcated by bollards, street furniture or by differentiation of surface colour, texture or height.
		As it is only rarely that a cycle track would be provided exclusively for cyclists then widths should be in accordance with those recommended for the conversion of existing footways/footpaths to unsegregated or segregated facilities.

		Cycle training has been found to be exceptionally effective in increasing the frequency with which people cycle, the length of the journeys they are prepared to cycle and their willingness to cycle in all seasons (see “notes to editors”).
		Cycle use for journeys to work can be encouraged by providing safe cycle parking, lockers, showers and changing facilities, and that such measures also benefit employers by producing a fitter, healthier workforce with improved concentration and less absenteeism.
		The segregated cycle facilities which the Committee saw in Odense, Denmark, gave cyclists a far higher status than they have in England, but that this network had taken 20 years to develop.

	Casualties on cycle paths
		I also believe the incidence of cycle path casualties to be out of all proportion to the number (or use) of such facilities in the highway infrastructure of Britain.
		Cycle lanes were better, but still 10 to 15 per cent more dangerous than nothing at all.
		I think it true that the Netherlands and Denmark are safer places to cycle than the UK (although I suspect the ratios usually suggested are exaggerated), but the connection between this and cycle facilities is tenuous.

		While primary cycle networks may be based on one type of facility, most cycle networks contain a mixture of different facility types.
		For example, a cycle path may be appropriate where it provides a short link for primary school aged children near shops or a school, even though it is beside an arterial road with cycle lanes.
		For example, cycle routes in regional or district networks may be classified as regional, inter-urban or tourist, while cycle routes in a large urban area may be classified as principal, collector or local.

		I suggest that opponents of segregated facilities must address this point &endash; that there is a clear and evident relationship between cycling levels and the provision of segregated facilities as part of a wider provision of cycle facilities.
		The critical point is that the motivation behind people wanting such facilities is the same as here as it is in the Netherlands &endash; it is pressure from cyclists that leads to continued provision of high-quality and segregated facilities in such countries.
		For travel by cycle, the equivalent ratios death and serious injury in relation to that by car and bus travel are 27 times and 72 times higher, again excluding the effects of the considerable under-reporting of cyclists' casualties.

		As part of the cycle audit, Ealing council will identify where provision of wheeling ramps on steps and bridges will be of benefit to cyclists.
		Ealing Council will adopt cycle parking design standards to ensure that cycle parking facilities are secure and accessible, and where possible are overlooked, well lit, under shelter, and conveniently serve the cycle route network.

		Whilst an absence of segregated cycle facilities far from ideal, this is not as disasterous as it might first appear, as the proposed solution below does not adequately cater for the considerable volume of cyclists expected to be travelling north through both junctions on Tottenham Court Road.
		Also note that the cycle track in the section of Torrington Place opposite Waterstones may need to be slightly narrower than the rest of the SSL's two-way track due to lack of carriageway space, hence the track expands in width as it enters Byng Place.
		Cycle logos plus directional arrows should be added to the cycle track at the point where pedestrians cross (ie adjacent to the table ramps) to reinforce the presence of cyclists to pedestrians.

		In 1956, cycles accounted for 17 per cent of total vehicle mileage, and in many towns a quarter or more of journeys were made by bike, as still is the case in Cambridge.
		In Sweden, cycle lanes were found to increase danger by 10 per cent and cycle tracks 3 to 12 fold.
		Cycle facilities increase fear of cycling elsewhere, and people lose the confidence to use even low-trafficked roads.

		This could easily have a no entry plug and cycle contraflow lane added (plenty of road space); it may be wise to add a sign at the north end to warn motorists to expect bikes.
		An eastbound contraflow cycle lane would then be required in Guilford Street as far as the Greville Street junction, followed by a northbound contraflow in Greville Street.
		as cyclists are at risk from motorists speeding through; also improve cycle facilities which make it tricky for cyclists to travel along the street in safety if vehicles are using it.

		First these cycles, and then the mountain bikes which followed, virtually eliminated the practical three-speed bicycle from American roads.
		Bicycle paths are often found in cities with an auto-free zone, or with vast park systems, but even such dedicated paths often have to be shared with inline skaters, scooters, skateboarders, and wayward pedestrians.
		In this regard, some transportation engineers argue that road bikes belong on the street, and insist that construction of segregated cycle facilities such as cycle paths, or multi-use trails (MUTs), is often a veiled attempt to force bicycles off the roads

	Policy Statement (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		However, most cycle facilities should not be expected to meet benefit/cost requirements (as is already the case for most roading work).
		CAN opposes mandatory use of segregated cycle facilities in recognition that such facilities are often inappropriate for some cyclists.
		Issues relating to cyclists sharing facilities with pedestrians, skateboarders and roller bladers sharing facilities should be investigated and guidelines established to encourage compatible shared usage.

		Hence their enthusiasm for the promotion of segregated cycle facilities in the name of 'safety' and their reluctance to acknowledge any evidence that 'safety' is not what is achieved.
		Schools are not liable for bicycles left on their premises, nor are they liable for crashes or injuries suffered on the way to school, unless the school has specifically arranged the transport.
		The advice says nothing about schools requiring pupils to wear cycle helmets, but interpretation of the advice suggests that they cannot require these to be worn for the journey, but they may have some discretion in deciding who may use cycle parking facilities on the premises.

		Certainly, urban cycling alone will never be able to entirely solve these problems, but it has formed a balance with developing public transport in the reduction of the importance of the car as a means of urban transport.
		In addition, cyclists can cause disruption when there is no cycle lane available and no way for other road-users to move past, as cyclists are naturally slower.
		They are generally situated in shopping districts or at connection points between other methods of transport (such as railway, subway, tram or bus stations).

		On roads that have been marked with cycle lanes, motorists take their cue from the lane marking and no longer change course in response to cyclists.
		The use of cycle lanes violates several basic principles of Irish traffic law and can lead to a net increase in the rate and severity of car/cycle collisions, particularly at junctions.
		The Galway Cycle Campaign has been unable to identify any means whereby a cyclist might reasonably be expected to make safe use of Galway’s “cycle lane” structures at roundabouts, signalised intersections or side roads.
