32. Cycling Scotland Revamping Cycle Guidelines Advanced Stop Lines (ASL’s) No adverse impact on traffic capacity Results in 25-35% accident reduction for cyclists Inexpensive

33. Cycling Scotland Revamping Cycle Guidelines Advanced Stop Lines

34. Cycling Scotland Revamping Cycle Guidelines Advanced Stop Lines

35. Cycling Scotland Revamping Cycle Guidelines Are cyclists safer on off-road cycle paths?

36. Cycling Scotland Revamping Cycle Guidelines The short answer:

37. Cycling Scotland Revamping Cycle Guidelines No. (the long answer: it depends)

38. Cycling Scotland Revamping Cycle Guidelines in the Hierarchy of Solutions …

39. Cycling Scotland Revamping Cycle Guidelines … providing cycle paths are your last choice Hierarchy of Solutions (1) Traffic Reduction (2) Traffic Calming (3) Intersection Treatment (4) Roadway Redistribution (5) Segregated Facilities First Priority Last Priority

40. Cycling Scotland Revamping Cycle Guidelines Why are they not safer?

55. Cycling Scotland Revamping Cycle Guidelines … and last but not least:

56. Cycling Scotland Revamping Cycle Guidelines “Invisible Infrastructure”

57. Cycling Scotland Revamping Cycle Guidelines (1) Traffic Reduction (2) Traffic Calming (3) Intersection Treatment (4) Roadway Redistribution (5) Segregated Facilities First Priority Last Priority Remember “Hierarchy of Solutions?”

58. Cycling Scotland Revamping Cycle Guidelines Invisible Infrastructure refers to the idea that: Traffic Reduction Traffic Calming …are more effective than “visible” cycle-specific improvements.
