Cycle Facility Treatments

Treatment 1 - Grade separated crossing of road ramps

This treatment allows safe and rapid crossings of on and off ramps. The greatest danger point on a major road is where traffic is crossing a cycle facility. At locations where an off or on-ramp comes down to meet a major road the best option for the cycle facility is to cross under the ramp. Such a crossing point should be made such that a rider need not slow down and therefore must have only gentle corners with good site lines. The tunnel should be wider than the cycle facility on either side. It should be well lit at night.

This type of facility is cheapest to build at the stage of constructing the ramps however retro-fitting is well worth while due to the serious safety problem created by ramps.
