H-03 - Cycling Facilities off the Road

Application of cycle paths

Deciding on the appropriate type ot cycle facility in urban areas is a com-plex process involving the careful con-sideration of criteria such as motor vehide volumes. proportion of heavy goods vehides. speed of motor vehic-les and Street gradient, among others. The main fadors influencing the dedsi-on to implement a physically separated cycle track alongside the carriageway are available space. motor vehide speed and car volume. In generał cy-clists should be physically separated from motorised traffic in streets where vehide speeds exceed 50 km/h. For morę information on choosing the appropriate form of cycle provision see Fad Sheet H-02 and the speed-volume diagram in the Central MeetBike strate-gy recommendations [Ahrens/Schubert (2014). p.48].

Intersedions and other crossings re-present conflid points between cyclists and drivers. The number of intersec-tions (including property access roads or driveways) and their frequency ot use are therefore also important fac-tors influendng the decision to use off-carriageway cyde paths. Cyde paths are generally appropriate for road seg-ments with few interruptions [Deffner et al. (2012). p.78]. Because cyde paths are often separated from the carriageway through a row of parked cars or a planted area it is especially important to ensure a high level of visibility at in-tersections (see Fact Sheet H-04). As such. for road segments with a rela-tively high number of intersedions or crossings it ts recommended that cycle provision be provided on the carriageway in order to maintain good visibility between cyclists and (in parlicular tur-ning) drwers (see Fad Sheet H-02).

Types of cycle paths

Cycle paths are physically separated from the carriageway through a kerb. parking lane or planted area. In generał there are three main categories of cyde paths: dedicated cycle tracks. shared use sidewalks and greenways.

Dedicated cyde tracks run parallel to the carriageway and are for the exdusi-ve use of cydists. Their use may be ob-ligatory. indicated using a posted sign and/or pavement markings. as long as they meet current standards of safe-ty and quality. The standard width for one-way cycle tracks is 2.00 m. which allows also cydists to overtake slower bicycles. According to German guide-lines. larger widths may be necessary for:

•    Segments which are main routes within the bicyde network

•    High volumes of cydists in order to achieve an appropriate level of service and comfort level

•    Frequent peaks in demand (groups of cydists)

•    Moderate to high activity in adjacent pedestrian areas

•    Steep declines

Two-way cyde tracks may be used in exceptional cases and after careful consideration. The standard width in German guidelines for a two-way cycle track on one side of the Street
