Cycling: Infrastructure

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will include impact on motorcyclists as an additional factor in the Cycling Level of Service Tool audit as set out in his Department's paper entitled Cycle Infrastructure Design, published in July 2020; and if he will make a statement.

Answer: The Department’s Cycle Infrastructure Design Guidance (Local Transport Note 1/20) provides guidance to local authorities on building good quality cycle infrastructure and integrating it safely into their local roads. It includes advice on safely managing interactions between cyclists and other road users, including motorcyclists, and suggests ways of reducing the particular risks to motorcyclists that can arise from the use of certain types of light segregation features.
