GUIDELINES FOR CYCLE AUDIT AND CYCLE REVIEW

These guidelines are based on existing principles of providing for cyclists, as set out in "Cycle-friendly Infrastructure" (IRRD 877012). The purpose of the Cycle Audit is to ensure that opportunities to improve conditions for cycling are properly considered in new transport schemes, and that conditions are not inadvertently made worse for cyclists. Two forms are provided to guide the design engineer and the auditor through the audit process at appropriate stages of design. Cycle Review is a systematic process, applied to existing transport routes or networks. It is designed to identify their positive and negative attributes for cycling, and to assess ways in which those networks could be changed in order to encourage cycling. A three stage procedure is proposed which can be applied at varying levels of detail depending on requirements and resources.
