Bicycle facilities on distributor roads

A sustainably safe road environment requires bicycle facilities that separate motorized traffic from relatively vulnerable road users like cyclists. Research indicates that on distributor roads the road sections with adjoining or separate bicycle tracks are safer than the road sections without any bicycle facilities. Furthermore, roundabouts with separate bicycle facilities are safer than roundabouts without such facilities. Other intersection types require speed reduction measures to reduce the number of crashes.
