Planning, Design and Engineering related to Cycling

Cycling England is keen to encourage and promote engineering designs to make general highway conditions safer and more convenient for cyclists, with specific cycling infrastructure provided where appropriate. In addition to works funded through the highways budget, opportunities are often provided through the development planning system.

 

Cycling England has developed a Design Checklist, linked to concise design guidance and examples, to assist local authorities and consultants in the design of high quality infrastructure.
