Definitions for Cycling Infrastructure

Definitions for Cycling Infrastructure

Формат *
This paper contains common definitions for various types of cycling infrastructure elaborated by the 2022-2024 UNECE Group of Experts on Cycling Infrastructure Module established by the Inland Transport Committee (ITC) in 2022. In elaborating the definitions, the Group of Experts considered the work done in UNECE countries on cycling. In doing so, the Group acknowledged that cycle and cycling had undergone a transformation in the years preceding the Group mandate which had led to the development of new types of cycle infrastructure, new road signage, new cycle definitions, and new traffic regulations in various UNECE countries and beyond. The Group considered meticulously these various developments and agreed to propose the following definitions for universal application by UNECE countries and other interested countries: • For linear infrastructure: cycle track, cycle and pedestrian track, greenway, cycle lane, sharrows, 2-1 road, mixed traffic road, cycle street, street with contraflow cycling, bus and cycle lane, footpath with cycling allowed, specific service road, cycle route, cycle route network and cycle highway, and • For non-linear infrastructure: cycle crossing, grade-separated cycle crossing, advanced stop line, two-stage turn provision, cycle parking, traffic light exemption for cyclists. For each definition, The Group of Experts also prepared an explanatory note which contains, where relevant: (a) the source of the definition, (b) examples of application, and (c) existing signage and marking as per 1968 Convention on Road Signs and Signals (CoRSS,2006 consolidated version) (in this case signs are referred to as per their Convention’s name codes. for example D, 4) and/or as per the UNECE countries traffic regulations. For ease of understanding, images of road signs and pictures of infrastructure are provided.
