Strategic Routes
Department for Transport
“The road network is the most basic (and important) cycling facility available.
The preferred way of providing for cyclists is to create conditions on the carriageway where cyclists are content to use it, particularly in urban areas.
Measures that reduce the volume or speed of motor traffic benefit other road users by making the roads safer and more pleasant for them to use.’
(Cycle Infrastructure Design, LTN 2/08)
Hierarchy of Provision
Consider first Traffic reduction
Speed reduction
Junction treatment, hazard site treatment, traffic management
Reallocation of carriageway space •bus lanes•widened nearside lanes•cycle lanes
Cycle tracks away from roads
Consider last Conversion of footpaths to shared use cycle tracks for pedestrians and cyclists
Objectives for Routes
Our Seven Strategic Routes will …
be comfortable to the user: minimising effort and exertion and respecting topography
be direct and coherent, giving clarity throughout the route and fully integrate with neighbourhood routes
be attractive enough to get people to 'dust down their bikes' and not just appeal to the 'experienced' cyclist
feel intrinsically safe to the user: away from fast traffic and avoiding conflict by giving cyclists greater priority
conveniently link key centres of employment, retail, culture and education, transport hubs so that we have a reason to use them
