Cycling-Centric Highways

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Cycling Superhighways Will Make London a Better Cycling City

— January 30, 2015 — Eco
Cycling in downtown London is said to get a whole lot easier with the construction of a pair of Cycling Superhighways. If approved by London's transportation authorities, building work on the routes will begin in March. Billed as "Europe's longest substantially segregated urban cycleways", plans were first revealed in 2013; however changes have since been made to minimize disruption to motorists.

Specifically, the proposal has been altered to reduce the impact on morning rush-hour commutes for drivers from 16 minutes down to six minutes -- between Limehouse Link and Hyde Park Corner. The Cycling Superhighway will ensure that cyclists are segregated from the road by a kerb at all times, barring one area near the Upper Thames Street tunnel.

This is a great example of how innovative planning can ensure the safety and convenience of cyclists and motorists alike.
Trend Themes
1. Cycling Superhighways - The construction of cycling superhighways provide opportunities for innovative infrastructure planning, ensuring safety and convenience for cyclists and motorists.
2. Substantially Segregated Urban Cycleways - The implementation of substantially segregated urban cycleways creates an environment that encourages more people to take up cycling and promotes sustainable transportation.
3. Reduced Impact on Morning Rush-hour Commutes - Minimizing disruption to morning rush-hour commutes for drivers showcases an opportunity for innovative solutions that balance the needs of cyclists and motorists in urban areas.
Industry Implications
1. Urban Transport Infrastructure - The development and construction of cycling superhighways present opportunities for innovative solutions in designing and improving urban transport infrastructure to accommodate the growing demand for cycling.
2. Sustainable Transportation - The creation of substantially segregated urban cycleways aligns with the trend towards sustainable transportation, presenting opportunities for innovative solutions in promoting and supporting active modes of transportation.
3. Smart City Solutions - The implementation of cycling superhighways and substantially segregated urban cycleways in cities like London demonstrates the potential for smart city solutions that integrate technology, transportation, and urban planning to enhance the overall cycling experience.
