S a f e c y c l in g in f r a s t r u c t u r e

30 km/h speed limits on 70 - 85 % of road network in many German and Dutch cities

NL: € 25 /per person annually for cycling (97 % for infrastructure);CPH: €16 Euro per capita in cycling infrastructure in 2010

Reduce car ownership/ car use by e.g. restrictive car parking policies: ex: Amsterdam € 5/ hour in the whole city

Every km cycled costs local authority about 1/10 of every km driven by car

ECF position: 30 km/h default speed limit in all built-up areas (Resolution European Parliament: 30km/h should be speed limit in all residential areas and where is no separate cycling lane)

ECF position: at least 10 % of transport budgets into cycling
