So, after my last post where we see it done right in Holland, here’s a link to a post on Copenhagenize about Australian plans for cycle paths.
At first glance, the proposed design looks good. The kerb is moved slightly into the road and the widened path is to be shared use by cyclists and pedestrians. In fact, it’s almost the approach being used in Darlington, except some space is actually being taken from the road, rather than just doing it where paths are already wide enough.
However, as the post explains, this approach has a host of problems, so why not simply do it properly in the first place and have an on-road segregated cycle lane?
