Planning and Designing for Cyclists course providing a review of Cycling by Design and workshops on how we can include cycling within our towns and cities.
Peter Leslie on behalf of SATIN provided a workshop and site visit to the Demonstration Project reviewing maintenance regimes for access and active travel routes.
Cycle route signs help route users find their way, they advertise the presence of route and make people aware that routes are part of wider networks. Poor signage is a (the) major cause of frustration with cycle routes and has even been cited in coroners' reports* - when lost cyclists have ended up on trunk roads. Despite this, signage is often an afterthought.
This workshop will give participants a good understanding on what effective signage can look like, and how it can be achieved. As well as presentations, participants will cycle on parts of the National Cycle Network to see examples of signage in different (Urban and Rural) environments.
