Research And Development Services And Related Consultancy Services – Fe 77.0706/2024/ Guidance Of Cycling On Short Local Routes. As A Rule, There Is A Need To Change The Form Of Management For Bicycle Traffic On Town Thoroughfares. There Are Currently No Criteria For Deciding When To Recommend A Change To The Continuation Of The Extra-Local Two-Way Management. If Facility Guidance Is To Be Preferred, The Possible Forms Of Intra-Local Cycling Guidance Must Be Weighed Up Against Each Other. The Criteria On Which This Assessment Is Based Can Currently Only Be Determined Qualitatively. Town Thoroughfares Are Often Characterized By Narrow Street Spaces, Which Only Allow Cycling In Mixed Traffic. However, Due To The Prevailing Speed Level And The Often Very High Proportion Of Heavy Traffic, The Road Layout For Cyclists In Town Thoroughfares Is Often Not Well Tolerated. The Question Here Is Whether Compatibility Can Be Improved With The Help Of Marking Solutions. Initial Findings On Marking Solutions Indicate A Positive Effect. In The Federal States There Are Isolated Regulations For The Implementation Of These Solutions. The Areas Of Application Of The Marking Solutions Overlap And A Comparative Evaluation And Findings On The Influence Of The Specified Speed Are Not Yet Available. In Addition, There Are No Operational Limits With Regard To The Performance Of Protective Strips With A Narrow Core Roadway. The Aim Of This Research Project Is To Provide Indicators For Deciding When To Recommend A Change To Facility Management Versus Continuing With Two-Way Management. The Aim Is Also To Typify Local Transit Routes As A Basis For Decisions Regarding The Management Of Cycling Traffic. Furthermore, Operational Limits Should Be Derived In Relation To The Performance For The Use Of Protective Strips With A Narrow Core Roadway, If Necessary In Conjunction With A Speed Limit Of 30 Km/H, And A Comparative Assessment Of Marking Solutions Should Be Carried Out.
