A brief look at Gear Change and LTN 1/20
- 1. A (brief) look at ‘Gear Change’ and LTN 1/20 Cycle Infrastructure Design (and their potential implications for cycling in Horsham District)
- 25. The Downs Link and other ’rural’ paths ‘We will improve the [National Cycle] Network, especially where it is most useful for everyday journeys, significantly increasing funding, removing obstacles, increasing the proportion that is traffic-free or protected from traffic, and providing smooth, all- weather surfacing on the traffic-free parts that is still consistent with its mainly rural nature.’ p.20, ’Gear Change’
- 26. The Downs Link and other ’rural’ paths ‘Cycle routes should be surfaced in smooth bound materials that are unaffected by weather and are well-maintained at all times of year. ‘ p.32, LTN 1/20 p.87, LTN 1/20 p.84, LTN 1/20
- 27. Shared Use ‘Cycle traffic has its own characteristics that are distinct from motor traffic and pedestrian traffic. These should be recognised and incorporated from the outset of the planning and design process.’ p.28, LTN 1/20 p.67, LTN 1/20
- 28. Contraflow Cycling ‘Gear Change’, p.18
- 32. Cycling in Pedestrianised Areas LTN 1/20 p.79
- 33. Assessment Tools
- 34. Finally, some helpful ‘legal’ changes • Local Authorities given the power to deal with moving traffic offences (e.g. parking in cycle lanes) – previously, only the police could enforce (p.30 ‘Gear Change’) • School Streets now made easier to implement, via new enforcement powers for local authorities in part 6 of the Traffic Management Act 2004 (p.19 ‘Gear Change’)
