  1. COMPLEMENTARY MEASURES TO SUPPORT CYCLING Karl ReiterFGM- AMOR

  2. What are the problems for active travelling in a city ? • too many cars • too fast car traffic

  3. Why use the road space for cycling ?

  4. Complementary measures • Access restriction • Parking management • Conversion of road space • Speed reduction • Enforcement

  5. Pedestrian Zonesopen for cyclists

  6. ACCESS RESTRICTIONSFOR MOTORIZED TRAFFIC- ban on driving exept cyclists- barriers for cars and lorries- cutting

  7. On street paid parking~ 20.000 slots for short term use (blue zone)~ 12.000 slots for long term use (green zone)- about half of all on street parking- Continious extension- parking for residents - potential for transformation of road space towards cycling

  8. Temporary car free areas (e.g.schoolstreets, Bolzano) • CASE BOLZANO • in primary schools,in Bolzano from 1989 • temporary traffic block along school streets • kids safety is guaranteed, • kids transport autonomy

  9. Road space converted for cycling Transformation of Car lanes into Bike lanes Car parking lanes intoBike lanes On street car parking intoon street bicycle parking Car lanes into combined intoBus and Bike lanes Car parking lanes intocombined Bus and Bike lanes

  10. Road space converted for cycling Extra line for right turning cyclists No stop on traffic lights for riht turning cyclists Combined bus and bicycle lanes

  11. Space distribution for non moving transport in public space in Graz 92% Car parking 3% ÖV Busstops/stations 3% Pedestrian resting faciliteis /parks 2 % Bicycle parking

  12. Image for cyclists Bicycle racks instead of parking places

  13. REDUCE THE SPEED OF CARS • Speed limit 30 km/h zones • Speed limit 30 km/ area wide • Additionally 30 kmh in main roads around schools and kindergartens • Home zones / Living streets • Shared space

  14. SAFETY

  15. Speed limit 30 km/h and 50 km/h Source: Mobility Cultura 2003

  16. Case study Graz • Speed limit 30 km/h for all roads exept of main roads (800 km of 1000 km road network) • Speed limit 30 km/h for main roads in front of schools and kindergartens • Awareness programm for the start of the action • Efficient Enforcement by a special trained unit

  17. Home zone- and playing streets

  18. 5 year old children and their parents No / little car traffic Lots of car traffic Social contacts of parents on average Number of friends on average Share of trips to visit friends done without supervision of adults

  19. Company Mobility management TU Graz • Actions: • Reduction of parking slots from 1600 to 760 • Paid parking and parking criteria (use of revenues for Cycle and PT measures) • 800 bicycle racks with roof and 900 without roof • 3 bicycle repair boxes, 7 Bicycle repair days • 350 Company bicycles • CO2 savings of ~ 550 t/a

  20. Workshop tasks: Complimentary Measures • What are the 3 most effective complementary measures? • What do you see as the 3 most appropriate complimentary measures? (Effectiveness / how easy to implement / public acceptance) • Arguments for implementing these measures • Potential barriers? Who will be against? • How to overcome the barriers? How can people who don‘t like it be convinced?
