Bicycle Safety - Carsten Wass, CONSIA
- 1. CO N SIA SAFE BICYCLE INFRASTRUCTURE Carsten Wass Visioning Workshop, 15 September 2014, Istanbul
- 2. VULNERABLE ROAD USERS Pedestrians Cyclists Moped riders CONSIA
- 3. ALL INJURIES 2008-12 IN DENMARK CONSIA Car 47% Van 3% Truck 1% MC 6% Bus 1% Bicycle 18% Moped 14% Pedestrian 10% Vulnerable road users: 42%
- 4. WHY VULNERABLE? Death risk for pedestrians CONSIA Car hits Pedestrian 50 60 At 50 km/h 3 out of 10 are killed But at 60 km/h 7 out of 10 will die
- 5. CYCLISTS ARE AT RISK The risk per km is four times higher for CONSIA cyclists than cars •Is this a reasonable risk number? •Risk per trip? •Replace a car trip? •Include public transport?
- 6. BUT CYCLING IS A NET BENEFIT 0 1000000 2000000 3000000 4000000 Health Accidents CONSIA Injured cyclists Cycle pop
- 8. UN-REPORTED ACCIDENTS 12221 4676 2514 3356 1940 894 420 20 1561 2499 6962 Car Bicycle Pedestrian Moped MC Van Truck CONSIA 9930 15635 4738 63078 75593 484 17 30 283 415 124 1057 639 0 10000 20000 30000 40000 50000 60000 70000 80000 Other Police Emergency ward Hospital
- 9. DARK NUMBERS CARS AND BICYCLES Hospital 1% CONSIA Police 6% Emergency ward 93% Hospital 1% Cyclists Police 16% Emergency ward 83% Cars So it is not four times as risky to bike – it is ten times!
- 10. INFRASTRUCTURE FROM PLANNING STAGE Town planning and traffic planning should be considered as one Mobility plans A bicycle plan with a functional classification of networks is a good starting point CONSIA
- 11. COHERENT The network must be coherent and connect important points for cyclists Lack of coherence is perceived as a detour CONSIA
- 12. SAFER BICYCLE NETWORKS Make bike paths where vehicles travel more than 40km/h On street where speeds are under 40km/h adjust volume and speeds of cars Meticulously redesign points where cyclists cross car traffic Safe design of conflict points between vulnerable road users (at bus stops or between fast and slow cyclists) CONSIA
- 13. SHARING THE STREET Cyclists may share the street with motor vehicles or pedestrians Keywords are speed and volume CONSIA
- 14. BICYCLE PATHS Safest solution: one-directional at both sides of the street Not bi-directional along a city street CONSIA
- 15. GEOMETRY Widths Uni-directional Bi-directional Bike lane Shared path Common path Sharing bus lane Uniformity CONSIA
- 16. BICYCLE PATH CONSIA 2.2m (1.7m)
- 17. SHARED PATH CONSIA 1.7m (1.5m)
- 18. BICYCLE LANE CONSIA 1.5m (1.5m) Often problems with parking
- 19. BI-DIRECTIONAL PATHS CONSIA 2.5m Min. 1.0m
- 20. MORE THAN LANES Facilities for parking CONSIA
- 21. UNIFORMITY Keep design of path along street CONSIA
- 22. MAINTENANCE Even surface very important for the use of the path Regular maintenance Snow removal at same time or earlier than on roads After works in the path it should be restored as new CONSIA
- 23. ROAD SAFETY INSPECTION Bicycle path along Aksu Caddesi, Ekrem Kurt Blv. and Çobançeşme Koşuyolu Cd. from the interchange with Kennedy Cd. to the interchange with D-100 Yanyolu in Istanbul Inspected September 2013 3km Bi-directional eastern side of road CONSIA
- 24. BI-DIRECTIONAL PATH All junctions are signal-controlled Dedicated signals for cyclists Separated from vehicle traffic CONSIA
- 25. Exit from parking lot crosses the bi-directional CONSIA cycle path
- 26. Cycle track blocked by stopping and parking vehicles CONSIA Cycle
- 27. THREE DIFFERENT SIGNALS FOR CYCLISTS CONSIA
- 28. SLIP LANE ALLOWS FOR HIGHER SPEEDS CONSIA
- 29. BICYCLE PATH AT BUS STOP CONSIA Kayseri
- 30. Konya Eskişehir Istanbul CONSIA Kayseri Kayseri Antalya Marking of cycle lanes
- 31. CONSIA Marking in junctions Konya Istanbul Eskişehir Kayseri
- 32. DELIMITATION BETWEEN PATH AND SIDEWALK Konya CONSIA Eskişehir
- 33. PARKING CONSIA Eskişehir Kayseri
- 34. CYCLING Cycling is a serious mode of transport – not just leisure Should be treated as other modes CONSIA
