bicycle lane

Last crawled date: 3 years, 2 months ago

A bike path (or cycling path, cyclopista or cycling) is a protected or otherwise reserved bicycle route, where motorized traffic is excluded. The purpose of these routes is to separate the bicycle traffic from the motorized and the pedestrian traffic, which have different speeds, to improve road safety and facilitate the sliding of the vehicles. They, for the sake of greater safety for cyclists, also play the role of a tool for moving mobility shares from private motorized vehicles to bicycles, thus reducing congestion and pollution. A related concept is that of a cycling network: the cycling lanes of a city play a role in global road safety, etc. If they are interconnected in a network, in continuity between them and on each path. Network design is a planning and management activity for urban mobility. #bicycle #bicycle_lane_lane
