Footways and cycle tracks
Guidance on accommodating footways and cycle tracks and how to design them.
Coloured surfacing
Coloured surfacing can help pedestrians, cyclists and drivers to identify cycle lanes and tracks.
Cycle tracks and cycle lanes
Protected cycle tracks offer segregated space to create inclusive cycling conditions. Cycle lanes are spaces reserved for cycling on the carriageway.
Pavements and footpaths
Pavements should provide a safe, comfortable and accessible space for people walking and wheeling.
Surface materials
Choosing appropriate surface materials will ensure that a development will be functionable, attractive and will last over time.
Tactile paving
Tactile paving enables blind and vision impaired people to navigate safely around the public realm.
Underpasses
Underpasses, where they are necessary, can overcome barriers formed by large busy highways and railways.
Junctions, crossings and access
Guidance on providing for walking, wheeling, and cycling movements across side streets, from one side of the street, at the junctions of streets or to access buildings.
Building access
Building access should be convenient, step-free, and barrier-free. Cycle parking should be secure.
Crossings
Safe and accessible crossings provide direct and convenient connections between local cycling and walking networks.
Junctions
The design of junctions requires careful consideration because they are places of frequent interaction and potential conflict between people walking, wheeling and cycling.
