Peachey Belt Landscape Precinct Plan (12367 kb) - City of Playford

5.0 BICYCLE PLANWhere suitable road reserves exist it is recommendedthat an off road dual use path or dedicated cycle path beprovided. This can encourage people to start cycling,cater for the less confi dent and reduce any confl ictbetween cyclists of different skill levels.For Peachey Road Median Refuges will be requiredwhere lower levels of the hierarchy intersect Arterialtreatments, or at points adjacent trip generators.CollectorAs with Arterial Roads, Collector Roads within theproject area will need to be treated with ExclusiveBike Lanes or Bike and Car Parking Lanes, and wheresuffi cient road reserve exist, and the road directlypasses an identifi ed or likely trip generator, off roadprovision should be considered.Minor CollectorMinor Collectors will be sign posted with Bicycle RouteTreatment - This consists of highlighting a network ofMinor and Local roads that connect to higher levels ofthe hierarchy or directly to trip generators.Depending on the context of the location the treatmentmay vary but Compacted Rubble or Bitumen SealedPaths can provide a consistent surface for cyclistschoosing not to travel via on road treatments.Unsealed paths are satisfactory away from roads androad reserves providing the surface is maintained tobe smooth, fi rm and well drained. Construction shouldinclude a suitable compacted and stabilised base of atleast 125 – 150 mm thickness.Bicycle ParkingWithin the Peachey Belt there is little identifi ed needfor the public provision of long term parking facilitiessuch as lockers or enclosures. The approach will be toimplement short term treatments where casual parkingfor one to two hours is likely to occur. For short termparking bicycle rails are preferred for their simplicity androbustness.It is recommended that short term parking facilities beprovided at all identifi ed trip generators.Road widths that can cater for a Wide Kerbside Laneshould be prioritised to enhance rider safety andconfi dence. Wide Kerbside Lanes are unmarkedroad shoulders that can cater for cyclists but are oftenoccupied for car parking and therefore should bemonitored for potential restrictions during peak periodsof use.Local RoadLocal Roads will be treated solely with Bicycle RouteSignage highlighting a network of local roads thatconnect to higher levels of the hierarchy or directly to tripgenerators and includes signs and arrows at junctions.Spatial Plan of Cycle related incidents on Playford’sRoads as identifi ed in the City’s 2000 Bicycle StrategyOff RoadDual Use Paths or Shared Paths are desirableas a component of road reserves, buffer spaces,infrastructure easements and/or linear parks.40 city of playford august 2008
