Visibility bands are required on all street furniture with the exception of guardrails and seats.

Special finishes and coatings Requests to use alternative colours to black, to match borough, town centre or historic palettes will be treated as exceptions and should be submitted for approval by the SDRG. Special coatings for flyposting and graffiti prone areas can be applied up to a height of 3,000mm on lighting columns.

The provision of fit for purpose, well-located and secure formal cycle parking facilities is vital for supporting the cycling growth targets for London. A lack of appropriate parking is often cited as a barrier to cycling and cycle ownership. The number and the quality of cycle parking spaces must not only keep pace with the growing use of cycles, but allow for the substantial future growth set out in the Mayor’s vision. It must also allow for all types of cycle to be securely parked, ensuring that any cycle user with a physical, sensory or cognitive impairment should enjoy access to good quality cycle parking. Please refer to LCDS for further information. Figure 217: A row of Sheffield cycle stands at Euston Circus Location, demand and security Cycle parking facilities on the TLRN are generally located on the footway within the furniture zone. London Cycling Design Standards (2014) should be referred to for further information on assessing demand for cycle parking and ensuring that provision: • Meets current and likely future demand • Supports different uses • Is appropriately located • Has step-free access • Is secure, well-overlooked, and well-lit at night • Is well integrated with the public realm • Includes some provision for larger models, such as cargo cycles and tricycles Placement Cycle parking is best positioned where it is not visually or physically intrusive, yet is sufficiently overlooked for security purposes. The visual impact of cycle stands can be reduced if placed between other street furniture, such as tree planting, bus stops and seating, as part of a coordinated furniture zone. Cycle parking may also be useful in discouraging pedestrians from crossing at certain points. Echelon and perpendicular arrangements offer greater capacity than parallel layouts. In addition, echelon arrangements take up less width than perpendicular arrangements. Please be aware of the following when selecting locations for cycle parking: • Cycle parking facilities may be provided on the carriageway alongside the kerb but require a traffic order • Locations under overhanging deciduous trees may require additional maintenance • A minimum clearance of 450mm between any part of the cycle and the carriageway should be retained when a cycle is parked on the stand • Leaving a large gap (1,500mm or more) after the last stand in each run is a good way of ensuring that spaces for larger cycles are available • Cycle parking placed on the median strip can help to reduce clutter on the footways, but should be carefully considered with regards to access, safety and pedestrian crossing visibility • Tactile paving should not be provided around the base of cycle parking stands on the TLRN To consolidate furniture placement and facilitate integrated transport, cycle parking should be considered at stations, tram stops and bus stops, particularly outside central London. Easy, step-free access to the facility should be provided through the use of dropped kerbs, crossings and sufficient space to manoeuvre. Dropped kerbs should be located as close to the cycle parking as possible.
