LIMITS OF USE OF CYCLE TRACKS ON TWO-LANED ROADS OUTSIDE URBAN AREAS

项目名称：	LIMITS OF USE OF CYCLE TRACKS ON TWO-LANED ROADS OUTSIDE URBAN AREAS
摘要：	PEDESTRIANS AND CYCLISTS ARE EXPOSED TO PARTICULAR DANGERS ON THE ROADS. ALMOST 1500 CYCLISTS ARE FATALLY INJURED EACH YEAR, ROUGHLY HALF OF THEM ON ROADS OUTSIDE URBAN AREAS. 14000 ARE SERIOUSLY INJURED AND 29000 SLIGHTLY INJURED. THE PROVISION OF CYCLE TRACKS CAN HAVE A DECISIVE INFLUENCE ON ACCIDENTS TO CYCLISTS; UP TO NOW HOWEVER LESS THAN 10 PERCENT OF ROADS OUTSIDE URBAN AREAS HAVE BEEN EQUIPPED WITH CYCLE TRACKS. THE CONFLICTING INTERESTS OF MOTORIZED AND CYCLIST TRAFFIC OFTEN LEAD TO CYCLE TRACKS NOT BEING BUILT, AND IN SOME CASES TO THE ELIMINATION OF EXISTING CYCLIST FACILITIES. LIMITATIONS SET DOWN IN SPECIFICATIONS ARE OFTEN SO RESTRICTIVE THAT THEY DO NOT PROMOTE THE SUBSEQUENT PROVISION OF CYCLIST FACILITIES. LIMITS OF USE ARE TO BE DERIVED FOR CYCLIST FACILITIES BASED ON A COST-BENEFIT CALCULATION. THE BENEFIT BROUGHT ABOUT BY ACCIDENT AVOIDANCE DUE TO THE PROVISION OF CYCLIST FACILITIES IS TO BE SET AGAINST THE NECESSARY COSTS OF CONSTRUCTION. THE LIMITS OF USE DERIVED SHOULD ENABLE THE DEMAND FOR CYCLE TRACKS TO BE CHECKED AGAINST OBJECTIVE CRITERIA BASED ON ECONOMIC PRINCIPLES.
