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.

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.

SVG

Building access

Building access should be convenient, step-free, and barrier-free. Cycle parking should be secure.

SVG

Crossings

Safe and accessible crossings provide direct and convenient connections between local cycling and walking networks.

SVG

Junctions

The design of junctions requires careful consideration because they are places of frequent interaction and potential conflict between people walking, wheeling and cycling.
