Learn how to design safe, inclusive, and sustainable mobility networks on a guided tour through the streets of Utrecht, the Netherlands on this hour-long “virtual study tour”.
This session will touch on the following topics:
• Self-enforcing street engineering (designing for the behaviour and speed you want)
• Cohesive network planning (providing for a variety of distances and journey types)
• Signalized/unsignalized intersection design (roundabouts, protected intersections)
• Effective bike-transit integration (using infrastructure/parking to “feed” a network)
• Inclusive infrastructure design (supporting a diverse range of ages, abilities, speeds)
Identification of Need: Learn how to design safe, inclusive, and sustainable mobility networks on a guided tour through the streets of Utrecht, the Netherlands.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the importance of cohesive cycling network design and integration with transit.
- Recognize forgiving and inclusive street/intersection design as a tool to improve safety and equity.
- Discover engineering methods that will design for the behaviour and speed that you want.
