5.3 | design principles
separation
Separation of bicycle infrastructure with
protected lanes, paths, and tracks and all of
the facets that create adequate separation
routing
Utilising existing thoroughfares to create
intuitive commuter routes, while providing
leisure and local routes that use some of the
same space and consider different speeds,
ages, and trip goals
Providing a variety of facilities and route
types that cater to different needs of various
age groups and abilities
Replacing underutilised space (i.e. parking
lots, malls, etc.) with activated places
(Better Block, pop-ups) that cater specificly
to bicyclists and pedestrians
variety
activation
shading
Considering existing sources of shade and
building upon these resources to mitigate
extreme heat and hot weather - includes
covered rest areas, water features, play
spaces, and locals’ spaces
connectivity
Ensuring that the bicycle network is
connected and all route types are
integrated
safe junctions
Protecting bicyclists and pedestrians by
integrating innovative and best-practice
crossing facilities - which must also include
changes on existing policies and
engineering dialogues
