MORE EFFECTIVE BICYCLE TRAFFIC

EFFEKTIVARE CYKELTRAFIK: PLANERINGSMAESSIGA OCH TEKNISKA FOERUTSAETTNINGAR FOER OEKAD CYKELANVAENDNING

The work presented here is divided into three major parts. The first part deals with the past and present conditions for urban and suburban cycling in Sweden. The second part is basically a sketch for an improved "Cycle Planning and Facility Design Manual". Laid out in the form of an inventory of common design faults, it focuses on ten problem areas from a cyclist's point of view, presenting explanatory comments and suggestions for more appropriate standard solutions. Whereas the first two parts are essentially based on "armchair research", the last part documents actual field work. It records a detailed examination of five discrete radial cycle routes from the centre of Stockholm to the northern outskirts of the Greater Stockholm area. The total distance reviewed and analysed is approximately 100 km.
