Except Bicycles // Documenting the Design of Neighbourhood Bikeways
What is a neighbourhood bikeway?
A neighbourhood bikeway is generally a local street with low traffic volumes and speeds making it a safer route option than most. What makes it a neighbourhood bikeway though, are the design features that contribute to lowering those traffic volumes and speeds.
Why is a route designated a neighbourhood bikeway?
There are many local streets that might be considered safe to ride a bicycle, but a neighbourhood bikeway will be a specially selected route considered to be an important corridor and part of a larger overall network, providing meaningful connections between other bike routes, origins and destinations.
What are the benefits of a neighbourhood bikeway?
Neighbourhood bikeways provide an excellent opportunity to build some key parts of a comfortable bicycle network at relatively low cost and impact. They can even benefit local residents, as traffic volumes reduce on their streets
Except Bicycles could best be described as a photo essay taking you on a journey through many examples of the typical features you will find along a neighbourhood bikeway.
