Junctions
Continuity is essential for the popularity of any cycle route, therefore proper resolution of junction features is critical for its success. Whether cyclists are using the carriageway or cycle tracks alongside it they will need to negotiate junctions, and designers should look for opportunities to give priority to cyclists and pedestrians, minimise delay and maximise the safety and comfort of non-motorised users.
