Pedestrian and Bicycle Paths

Linear parks are ideal for installing cycle paths.To ensure the safety and comfort of all users, it’s important to separate pedestrian pathways from bike paths. This requires careful planning of path materials, widths, and speed regulation for cyclists.

Path with separate lanes for pedestrians and bicycles, with speed limit signage, speed reduction elements and a bicycle parking area.
  • Separate pedestrian routes from cycle paths, as they have different speeds.
  • Regulate the maximum speed allowed for bicycles and non-motorized transport.
  • Adapt pavement materials for safety and comfort.
  • Provide sufficient width (greater than 2 meters) for paths.
  • Install traffic-calming elements, such as signposted platforms at junctions.
  • Include bike parking areas for convenience.
