Balancing the needs of cyclists and motorists

Between 2002 and 2004 a four-part research programme was undertaken to identify hazards to cyclists from features of the road network that are designed to benefit motorists. The four studies were: 1: The effects of roadside obstacles on cycle stability; 2: The effects of trucks passing on cycle stability; 3: The effects of roadside obstacles on cyclists' behaviour; 4: Parents' perceptions of cycle safety for high-school children. The perspective of the research is to recognise and understand the conflicting needs of cyclists and motorists who share a road corridor. The outcome is to facilitate more informed decision-making in design, maintenance and management of the road corridor by balancing the needs of cyclists and motorists. (a)
