Five Criteria
• Direct – least distance and time
• Coherent – continuous appropriate provision
• Comfortable – physically and mentally
• Attractive – to all intended users
• Safe

• Gives sufficient advantage to attract would be cyclists
• Makes it clear that cyclists (and pedestrians) are valued travellers in the cycling town, in a modern city and in the 21st Century
Challenges• Self explaining roads?

• Legal issues – one-way cycle tracks, parallel crossings, low-level signals
• Driver behaviour – e.g. lane markings, junctions
