Bicycle network planning

Bicycle network planning involves designing and organizing streets, paths, and facilities to make biking safe, convenient, and efficient for everyone. It considers the distribution of residential, commercial, and recreational areas to create interconnected routes that encourage cycling as a sustainable transportation option. This process includes mapping existing infrastructure, identifying gaps, and implementing dedicated bike lanes, signage, and crossings. The goal is to improve safety, reduce traffic congestion, and promote healthy living by making biking a practical choice for daily travel. Effective planning balances user needs, urban density, and environmental factors to develop a cohesive cycling network.
