SIGNALISED ROAD 2. SET BACK STOP-LINES FOR CARS
INTERSECTIONS The stop-line needs to be set back 5 m so a lorry driver waiting to
turn left on green can see a cyclist waiting at the stop-line to go
straight ahead on green. Furthermore, setback stop lines generally
make it easier for drivers to see crossing pedestrians.
SIGNALISED ROAD 3. CYCLIST SIGNALS
INTERSECTIONS Normally placed on the main signal pole.
A low signal should be placed near the pole in the cyclists direction of travel to prevent
pedestrians from running into it, at a minimum height of 3 m.
SIGNALISED ROAD 4. CYCLIST WAITING SPACE ON CORNER
EASIER FOR CYCLISTS TO POSITION THEMSELVES APPROPRIATELY SO THEY
INTERSECTIONS DONT GET IN THE WAY OF CYCLISTS WHO WISH TO GO STRAIGHT AHEAD.
Is an exception.
Solution provides greater capacity for motor
traffic and is as safe as the best designs for cycle
tracks/lanes leading all the way to the
intersection.
However, many cyclists feel insecure when the
cycle track is shortened, and the intersection is
less easily passable than when the cycle
track/lane terminates at the intersection.
Whenever possible, existing shortened cycle
tracks should be continued up to the intersection.
Shortened cycle tracks may be chosen when
there is a steep longitudinal gradient and cyclists
quickly approach the intersection.

STANDARD AND MINIMUM WIDTHS OF COPENHAGEN CYCLING
FACILITIES
CONVERSATION CYCLING
Two cyclists can ride side by side and can be overtaken by a third. The
extra space also makes it easier for high speed cyclists, for example e-
New wide cycle track (dimensioned to
4.0 m based on a capacity calculation).
Can handle at least 5,000 cyclists per
hour.
2. Passenger platforms
Minimum platform width is 1.5 m (preferably 2.0 m)
3. Kerbside bus stops
This kerbside bus stop has no passenger platform
and a cycle track runs through it; cars must wait
for the bus to leave.

EDESTRIAN FACILITIES IN COPENHAGEN
BY 1996,
COPENHAGEN HAD
SIX TIMES THE
AMOUNT OF CAR-
FREE SPACE THAN
IT HAD WHEN
PEDESTRIAN
INITIATIVES BEGAN
IN 1962.
COPENHAGEN 10 STEP 1.Convert streets into pedestrian thoroughfares
PROGRAMME
RDHASPLADSEN
The central traffic artery was removed from Town
Hall Square in 1996 and given back to pedestrians.
COPENHAGEN 10 STEP 4. Keep scale dense and low.
PROGRAMME
Integrated Tablet PC
Intelligent cycling. The on board
tablet with built-in GPS allows the
user to plot routes around town
and check travel bookings, while
regularly reporting back to Go bike
Admin.
4. BIKE SHARING
SYSTEM
Electric Motor
Go further, more easily. All bikes are fitted with an
electric motor that provides optional assistance at
four different levels, extending riders range
across the city.
Digital Lock
Stop anywhere. An electric locking system is
selected as Lock bicycle in the tablets menu,
meaning users can stop safely even if there isnt a
docking station nearby.
