March 16, 2022 - The European Cyclists’ Federation (ECF) has published a new state-of-the-art report on geometric design standards for cycling infrastructure. The report gathers data from 15 different European countries with a diverse range of climates, levels of cycle use, population densities and topographies. Using the collected data, it then provides an analysis of the different standards and guidelines with varying levels of detail and scope.
The report compares design speeds of cycling infrastructure implemented across different countries and regions and the key parameters determined by them, such as horizontal and vertical curve radii and sight distances. These parameters are key factors in determining the geometric standards for cycling infrastructure across Europe.
