15. Strategic Routes
“Fit for Cycling”
how do we get
from here….
….to here?

16. Department for Transport
“The road network is the most basic (and
important) cycling facility available.
The preferred way of providing for cyclists is to
create conditions on the carriageway where
cyclists are content to use it, particularly in urban
areas.
Measures that reduce the volume or speed of
motor traffic benefit other road users by making
the roads safer and more pleasant for them to
use.’
(Cycle Infrastructure Design, LTN 2/08)

17. Hierarchy of Provision
Consider first
Traffic reduction
Speed reduction
Junction treatment, hazard site treatment, traffic management
Reallocation of carriageway space
• bus lanes
• widened nearside lanes
• cycle lanes
Cycle tracks away from roads
Consider last
Conversion of footpaths to shared use cycle tracks for
pedestrians and cyclists

19. Objectives for Routes
Our Seven Strategic Routes will …
be comfortable to the user: minimising effort and exertion and respecting
topography
be direct and coherent, giving clarity throughout the route and fully integrate
with neighbourhood routes
be attractive enough to get people to 'dust down their bikes' and not just
appeal to the 'experienced' cyclist
feel intrinsically safe to the user: away from fast traffic and avoiding conflict by
giving cyclists greater priority
conveniently link key centres of employment, retail, culture and education,
transport hubs so that we have a reason to use them
