The document discusses three key systems needed to create more space for cycling: 1) Sustainable road safety which focuses on reducing conflicts between drivers and cyclists through lower speeds and volumes and better infrastructure design. 2) Transport planning which takes a network-wide approach to classify roads and plan high quality routes for cycling. 3) Engineering design which provides protected space for cycling through measures like separated bike lanes and safe junction designs.

- 9. 3. The systems 3a. Sustainable road safety Principles - Observe and account for human behaviour - Insert a margin of error in the design - Design-out risk with view to increase cycling - Remove conflict situations (don’t pitch driver vs cyclist) - Making designing for cycling safety a priority ahead of driving Tool box: CROW manual / SWOV briefings This means a shift from traditional road safety in UK
- 10. 3. The systems 3a. Sustainable road safety
- 11. 3. The systems 3a. Sustainable road safety User need The higher the traffic volume and the faster the speed, the more protection a cyclist needs from motor traffic Reduce speed Reduce volume

- 14. 3. The systems 3b. Transport planning
- 15. 3. The systems 3b. Transport planning Transport Policy Network-wide approach Road classification What makes a good cycle route? 1.Cohesive 2. Safe 3. Direct 4.Comfortable 5. Attractive
- 16. 3. The systems 3b. Transport planning Reducing traffic volumes and speeds • is political • requires policy • requires policy to be upheld • needs skilled planners
- 17. 3. The systems 3c. Engineering design
- 18. 3. The systems 3c. Engineering design AND SAFE JUNCTIONS
- 21. Sarah Cawrse
- 23. Newcastle Cycling Campaign Grey Street
- 25. AND AND AND SAFE JUNCTIONS
- 26. Priority at side roads Many different types of junctions 1.zebra crossing incl cycling 2. cross roads with / without priority 3. roundabouts 4. signalled junctions 5.subways and bridges
- 31. 3. The systems 3c. Engineering design Protected space and decent junctions • is political reduces road space for driving, hence reduces ‘traffic flow’, before modal shift • needs skilled engineers
- 32. How do we make it happen? Discussion What comes first or next? good designs traffic reduction political leadership Hierarchy of provision 1. Reduce volume 2. Reduce speed 3. Junctions 4. Reallocate space 5. Cycle tracks away from road 6. Conversions of footpaths ?
