Cardiff Cycling Campaign

Comments on the draft Cardiff Cycle Design Guide

The proposed Cycle Design Guide is intended to be the first point of reference for the design of all traffic schemes in order to ensure that the needs of cyclists are fully considered. Cardiff Council is committed to engaging and consulting widely on all schemes; proper engagement with stakeholders can help develop designs that are more practical and usable than those based simply on standard details.

Cardiff Cycling Campaign welcomes the proposed commitment to considering the needs of cyclists in all highway schemes and to the principles contained in Manual for Streets 2 and the hierarchy of provision. The hierarchy of provision is:

o Reduce traffic speeds and / or flows
o Mandatory cycle lanes
o Advisory cycle lanes

o Providing parallel off road routes

In particular, the Campaign supports the statement that “cycle routes must be
continuous and coherent.”, seeking to minimise lane widths for general traffic
appropriate to the road type and traffic conditions and reallocating available road space to provide / improve the provision of cycling facilities.

Cardiff Cycling Campaign has always argued for the application of design standards and the necessity of a design and audit process that involves cyclists and others. The Strategic Cycle Route Network is an opportunity to implement the principles and guidance contained in the proposed Guide, an opportunity to address the priorities in the corridor approach to main traffic routes into and within the city centre. The Campaign recognises that areas of restricted vehicular access provides opportunities to improve cyclists’ access but also the priority of pedestrian provision including provision for disabled people through the use of Equality Impact Assessment of schemes.

In summary, the Campaign wants a ‘sea-change’ in the consideration of cycling in highway and land developments, using available development funds imaginatively and creatively to create coherent and continuous routes that are integral to the road network and not marginal to the management of traffic, enabling real change in the proportion of journeys made be cycling in Cardiff.
