Abstract:
The purpose of this chapter is to familiarize readers with contemporary trends in bicycle lane network design and the integration of bicycles as a means of daily transportation in urban environments. It presents methodologies for calculating the level of service and analyzes the basic principles of integrating and operating bicycle networks in the urban fabric. It presents the hierarchy categories of urban bicycle paths and the design specifications for each category. The complementary elements that make up the modern bicycle lane network are described (road and junction configuration, separation measures, parking spaces, signage, traffic lights, guidance, lighting, planting). Emphasis is placed on analyzing the possibilities and practices of combining bicycle use with other modes of transport. Finally, good practices in Greece and abroad are presented, along with data evaluating Greek bicycle lanes according to design principles and specifications.
