OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE SPEED REDUCTION Motorists trying to overtake cyclists on sections with narrow traffic lanes in mixed traffic pose a significant threat to cyclist safety. Narrow spaces combined with the risk of falling into an excavation may make it necessary to reduce traffic speeds in the interests of the working environment and road safety. Speeds can be reduced by signing a slower speed limit. In exceptional cases it may be necessary to install temporary physical traffic calming measures, such as removable, screwed on speed humps made of loose asphalt or rubber. In a few cases it might be worthwhile considering reducing cycling speed. In that case a cyclist speed hump, etc. can be installed. ACCIDENT RISK As a general rule construction work cannot be considered a major cause of solo cycling accidents. This is due to the fact that road construction is not particularly widespread so that when cyclists encounter it they increase their vigilance. The Accident Analysis Group at Odense University Hospital has made a study of cyclist solo accidents. More than 70% of the injured cyclists were involved in solo accidents. 2.4% of the cyclists interviewed in a solo accident survey stated that there was road construction on the road. 1.8% of the cyclists cited barrier materials as the cause of the accidents. 2.7% of collisions with solid objects were caused by a cyclist hitting a barrier. There were more adults than children and young people involved in solo road construction accidents. PLACING CYCLISTS The following is a brief introduction to the placement of cyclists at fixed construction sites. ROAD CONSTRUCTION ON ROADS WITH CYCLE TRACKS • If there are 1.2 m minimum of cycle track outside the work area, cyclists should remain on the track. • If the pavement outside the work area is wider than 3 m, a temporary cycle track should be installed on the pavement by a longitudinal barrier. • If the pavement outside the work area is 2-3 m wide, placing cyclists on the pavement with or without a longitudinal barrier should be considered. • If cyclists are not placed on the pavement, a 1.2 m minimum wide cycle track should be established on the carriageway by a longitudinal barrier. • If a temporary cycle track on the carriageway is undesirable, traffic calming of motor traffic should be considered. • Establish good cyclist diversion routes or good asphalt ramps on the carriageway. ROAD CONSTRUCTION ON ROADS WITH MIXED TRAFFIC, KERB LANES OR CYCLE LANES • Consider establishing a 1.2 m wide minimum temporary cycle track on the carriageway by a longitudinal barrier. • If the pavement is more than 2 m wide, a temporary cycle track on the pavement with or without a longitudinal barrier should be considered. • Consider motor traffic calming. • Establish a good diversion route for cyclists. The exact relation between road construction and cyclist accident risk has not been studied. Still, there is every reason to believe that considerate design of road construction may prevent some bicycle accidents. Potholes are a threat to cyclists.
3 PUBLIC BIKES AND COMMUTER BIKES Danish cyclists do most of their biking on their own bicycles, and in Denmark this will continue to be the case. Many cities abroad, however, have kick-started significant bicycle traffic growth by making bicycles available to the public. The situation in Denmark is quite different since most people already own one or more bicycles. However, there is a potential in offering bicycles in different contexts. There are four concepts: public bikes, commuter bikes, station bikes, and company bikes. The following examples illustrate Danish experience in this field. The chapter also provides examples of public bike systems from abroad, which are quite different from Danish solutions.
