2 Concept of bicycle o Advantages of bicycle Planning and design principles o Bike Ways o Bicycle Lanes o Numeric Data o Junctions o Parking Areas o Bicycle Signs Examples o Amsterdam/Netherlands, Konya, METU

3 A vehicle consisting of two wheels held in a frame one behind the other, propelled by pedals and steered with handlebars attached to the front wheel.

4 Advantages of using bicycle: o Urban scale; Reduce pollution Ease traffic congestion Cheap infrastructure o Human scale; Promote better fitness and health Cheap transportation type/save money Better mobility

5 Top 15 cities according to the usage of bicycle; o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o Amsterdam/The Netherlands Barcelona/Spain Berlin/Germany Copenhagen/Denmark Paris/France Boulder/USA Chicago/USA Davis/USA Ottawa/Cada Portland/USA San Francisco/USA Beijing/China Cape Town/South Africa Bogota/Colombia Perth/Australia Source:

6 First known use of bikeway: 1894 (first separated bike lane in New York) Pavings; asphalt, concrete, rubber, stone. Management: Municipality (infrastructure, maintenance) Colors; blue in Turkey, green-grey-orange in USA and Europe

7 Bikeway : a facility that is provided primarily for bicycle travel. 3 Types of bikeways; o Bike Path: A completely separated paved right-of-way (shared with pedestrians) which excludes general motor vehicle traffic.

8 Bikeway : a facility that is provided primarily for bicycle travel. 3 Types of bikeways; o Bike Lane: A striped lane for one-way bike travel on a roadway.

9 Bikeway : a facility that is provided primarily for bicycle travel. 3 Types of bikeways; o Bike Route: Provides for shared use with pedestrian or motor vehicle traffic.

10 6 types of bicycle lanes; o Copenhagen Style Bicycle Lane: Cars are not permitted to enter these at any time.

11 6 types of bicycle lanes; o Exclusive Bike&Parking Lane: Parking is not an issue, as it's provided for separately - the bike lane is always exclusive.

12 6 types of bicycle lanes; o Exclusive bike lane: For this style of lane the road typically is just too narrow to allow car parking on both sides. Outside clearway times cars can legally park over the bike lane. Road Speed (km/h) Desirabl e Width (on new roads) Acceptab le Range (when retrofitti ng to roads) Overall Bicycle Facility Width (m)

13 6 types of bicycle lanes; o Shared Parking&bicycle lane: It is similar to an Exclusive Bike Lane but you can park on it at any time. Most of the time the road will be sparsely parked leaving a fairly continuous wide lane for the cyclist. Road Speed (km/h) Desirable Width (on new roads) Acceptable Range (when retrofitting to roads) Overall Bicycle Facility Width (m)

14 6 types of bicycle lanes; o Wide kerbside lane: It indicates that you may see bikes along this route and in fact the road is wide enough to accommodate bikes and cars side by side and means nothing else. Road Speed (km/h) Desirable Width (on new roads) Acceptable Range (when retrofitting to roads) Overall Bicycle Facility Width (m)

15 6 types of bicycle lanes; o Off road/shared Path: Mountain biking, park roads etc. Desirable Width Acceptabl e Range Local Access Path Commuter Path Recreation Path

16 Other Numeric Data o Grade Table o Curve Radii & Super elevation Design Speed (km/h) o Stopping Distance Grade % Max. Lane Length (m) % Superel evation Minimum Radius (m) 3% Superel evation 4% Superel evation 5% Superel evation Design Stopping distance (m) Speed (km/h) 0% Grade 5% Grade 10% Grade 15% Grade 20% Grade

17 Video about Junctions

18 Parking Areas for Bicycles: o 3 different purposes Transfer: near to the bus stop, rail station, service route. Design for long time parking. It must be aesthetic, safe. High capacity. Working: near or in to the working area. Design for long time parking. High capacity. Other: shopping, leisure and social purpose travel. Near to the central area. Design for short time parking. Not much capacity.

19 Parking Areas for Bicycles: o Working purpose

20 Parking Areas for Bicycles: o Transfer purpose

21 Parking Areas for Bicycles: o Other purposes

22 Parking public right of way: Distance from; o A Curb: 60cm-76cm o Other street furniture: 152cm o Other bicycle racks: 122cm o Buildings: 1524cm o Pedestrian crossing, driveways, alley entrances, and street corners/ intersections: 152cm

23 Bicycle Signs:

24 Amsterdam/Netherlands o %59 of the whole city uses bicycle. o %27 of all trips nationwide, o Many cycle-paths and segregated cycle facilities o Shortest distance; 2.5km, longest distance; 5-7.5km. o Linked with public transport system o Woonerfs (living streets) o Children (10-16 age) use bicycle o Secondary school children cycle over 15 km in each direction. o %49 of all transport to school occurs by bicycle.

32 Konya o %3.4 of all transport occurs by bicycle. o It is favorable for around 10km distance. o 460km is planned, but only 60km is completed. o 13 different regions integrated to the plan.

33 Konya o 1 TL for a hour (Once in a day free for first 30 min) o 15 TL for 24 hours o 60 TL for 7 days o 180 TL for 30 days

34 Konya o How it works? ELKART or credit card Registration; from internet or stations Any damage or stealing worth 300 TL penalty
