Innovations in Road DesignDutch ideas for UK Roads Adrian Lord Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport
Five Criteria • Direct – least distance and time • Coherent – continuous appropriate provision • Comfortable – physically and mentally • Attractive – to all intended users • Safe
What is a cycle route? • Gives sufficient advantage to attract would be cyclists • Makes it clear that cyclists (and pedestrians) are valued travellers in the cycling town, in a modern city and in the 21st Century
Successes – New Road Brighton
Challenges • Self explaining roads? • Reconfigure whole highway – not just a ‘cycle facility’ • Legal issues – one-way cycle tracks, parallel crossings, low-level signals • Driver behaviour – e.g. lane markings, junctions
