Cycling Facilities
1. Balanced public space2. Basic Types (sorted from
mixing to separation)- cycle street - “advisory safety lane”- cycle lane - cycle path
3. New elements4. Maintenance 5. Outside settled area
Hannover: Former mandatory cycle path; new cycle lane

New generation of guidelinesFrom FGSV e.V. – German Transport and Road Research Association
Bases for ERA: 2010: RASt 06 Street design guidelines:„… to design the street from the sides, not from the middle“

Choice of the adequate type of cycling facility
Criteria for pre-selection(to be confirmed in detailconstruction plan)
• Motorized vehicle frequency per day
• Car speed (V85)
I – entire mixed II mixed with assistanceIII potential separationIV separation

Cycle lanes• Visibility! • Quick and easy travel, cheaper than to build cycle paths• Adequate space at intersections• Self-explanatory design• Enforcement on parking!

• Separation because of driven speed(but long time effort to create a network – priorities?)
• Bicycle lanes outside ?(not in Germany, but CH, NL, BE, FR)
• Speed limit at 60-70 km/h in minor roads without cycling facilities?
• Focus on entries to villages
Outside settled area

Road separator - for crossing and turning
• Crossing in two phases• Substitute for traffic light • Necessary at the end of
a two way cyclepath

Hierarchy of streets:
Self-explaining roads30 km/h in most streets
(EP 2011: „the rule, not exception)
50/70 km/h in some streets(with cycling facilities)
some Ped. Zone and 20 km/h streets
Key for good cycling condition:
>> balanced spaces for the modes
>> low speed of motorized modes

Respect! Pedestrians‘ Needs
Relaxed joint use :•Common “green paths” with pedestrians: sufficient space•Avoiding (mountain) bike routes on high level hiking paths•The cycling speed issue•Bicycle parkings and handicapped pedestrians

Measuring Cycling
Simple methods: •Counting cyclists at central spots (bridges) year by year, or steadily for public awareness•Users satisfaction survey by interviews •„Point out“ problem spots on open map (wiki mapping?) •Hands-up in school classes before,after „cycling to school“ action
