Selecting the Cycling Facility
The nomograph shown above, is one of the many resources that helps guide the selection of a suitable design by factoring in vehicular speed and traffic volumes.
Traffic data captured at various locations suggests that a dedicated bicycle lane is appropriate for Korah Road. These locations are identified as A, B and C on the nomograph.
Route Styles
Dedicated bike routes that are marked with paint and separated from the roadway are appropriate for streets with higher vehicular traffic speeds and volume.
A shared lane may be appropriate in situations where the road is too narrow to accommodate a dedicated bike route, and where vehicular traffic speeds and volume are relatively lower. These types of lanes are recommended for quieter streets and at some intersections.
On-Street Parking Changes
Designing safe cycling lanes on roads require changes to on-street parking. There is not enough space on the road to accommodate both a cycling lane and on-street parking.
Parking will be prohibited on both sides of Korah Road between Cheshire Road and Douglas Street.
The map below shows the current state of parking along the cycle route and the changes that will be made.
