Description:

Cycling is seen as a form of transport which not only benefits the health of the rider but also the health of the planet. However providing road space for cyclists can be difficult. One way of doing this is to introduce "core traffic lanes". These basically involve taking an urban two-lane road, removing the existing lane and centre-line markings, adding markings for a cycle lane in each direction - and leaving whatever of the width remains for two-way motorised traffic flows. This document presents some examples of this practice taken from Swiss, German and UK practice. 54 pages including covers, PDF, 2.1 MB, 18 examples of core traffic lanes, 6 examples of "conventional" arrangements, summary table, notes from the UK, Germany, Holland, Switzerland, relevant organisations etc. This is a minor update of the "engineer's version".
