SURFACE AND FLOW STRUCTURE PAVEMENT The flow of cyclists and pedestrians at Bryggebro is going in both directions on either side of the bridge and at either ends of the bridge. Looking at a section of the bridge it is divided into three spaces. Beginning from the left there is a two way pedestrian path going in both directions, alongside this is an 80 centimetre high concrete girder that separates the two-directional cycling path from the walking path without obstructing eye contact between passing pedestrians and cyclists (Figures 3.3.17 and 3.3.18). PEDESTRIAN PATH BIKE PATH The bridge itself is a combination of concrete, steel and asphalt. The colour of the cyclist and walking path is black asphalt which appears to be a light grey colour. The middle concrete girder and steel handrails are a very similar shade of grey. At one end of the exits the asphalt path meets a large granite paved rectangular area (Figure 3.3.19 and 3.3.20). At the other end the bridge meets a large granite paved footpath (Figure 3.3.22 and 3.3.23). To guide the cyclists in the correct lane a white dashed line has been placed down the centre of the path. Upon entering the bridge there are some metal path guides screwed into the concrete paving directing cyclists into the correct path. Figure 3.3.19: Access to Bryggebro from Islands Brygge. Figure 3.3.22: Access to Bryggebro from Havenholmen Along the Islands Brygge side of the bridge there is a cobble stone road where everyone tends to ride along the smooth paved lanes to avoid the slow and rough ride along the cobblestones. This creates and defines a good separation between the walkers and the cyclists (Figure 3.3.21). N ISLANDS BRYGGE RECTANGULAR GRANITE AREA The surface on the bridge and on the entry and exits is in a good condition and there is no cracks or potholes which means that it is safe for cyclists and pedestrians to use. However when it rains the cobblestones and plastic path guides would become slippery for cyclists and possibly cause accidents.

HIERARCHY OF USERS VELOCITIES The users on the bridge have equal priority for crossing the bridge. However the cyclists have slightly more space which they require to ride comfortably opposite each other (Figure 3.3.24). The cyclists also demand more space at each end of the bridge as they are consistently swooping in and out of the bridge at high speeds whilst navigating around pedestrians. This can cause some conflicts and clashing between pedestrians and cyclists (Figure 3.3.25). The bridge has high and low peaks of traffic during the day. Peak hours where the bridge is most populated is in the morning from 7am to 10am when people are on their way to work or school (Figure 3.3.26). Other peak hour times are in the afternoon/evening from 4pm till 7pm when people are on their way home from work and school. During these times it is more difficult for the cyclists to go very fast as the bridge is crowded. However during off peak times cyclists can go faster as there is less traffic, these times are from 10am till 3pm, 7pm till 7am and on the weekends (Figure 3.3.27). PEDESTRIANS CYCLISTS Some problems can arise when exiting the bridge onto the Islands Brygge side. The bridge becomes quite steep allowing cyclists to gain a lot of speed making exiting the bridge somewhat unsafe. This becomes a problem as they then have to make a sharp turn left or right into an on coming traffic of pedestrians and cyclists entering the bridge. Pedestrians walking do not present any problems to the infrastructure as they are moving slowly but they do have to pay a lot of attention of fast moving cyclists at each exit as do pedestrians running (Figure 3.3.28).
