6.21 Traffic calmingTraffic calming devices can improvecycling conditions in local streets withmixed traffic conditions. A wide varietyof devices are used, so accommodatingcyclists will depend on the individualcharacteristics of the devices.For example, cyclist bypasses are generallyappropriate where there are:• single-lane devices• road narrowings• devices with abrupt changes in verticalalignment.Bypass facilities can often be constructedusing the original carriageway surface.Other measures that may beappropriate are:• path links at road closures• contra-flow lanes or path links atone-way devices.6.22 Restrictedtraffic areasPedestrian needs and comfort areparamount in pedestrian zones and publicplaces where traffic is restricted. In theseareas, the desirability of cycling (andany associated provisions) needs to bedetermined — bearing in mind that it isimportant to accommodate cyclists whosedesire lines pass through a pedestrian area.The common options are:• allowing cyclists and pedestrians tomix freely• providing designated paths for cycliststhrough the area• allowing a combined use with selectedmotor vehicles (for example, buses, taxisand service vehicles)• restricting cycling during certain periods• prohibiting cycling in certain places.The most appropriate approach will dependon the situation and the nature andbehaviour of both pedestrians and cyclists.Permitted cyclists are guests, and areexpected to travel at a speed and in a waythat is consistent with a walking space andto yield to pedestrians unless they havetheir own defined space.Priority should go to information signs andpublic relations campaigns for the peacefulcoexistence of pedestrians and cyclists,with minimal use of signs andline markings.Speed cushions with cycle lane bypass, Melbourne, Australia.
