Cycling Conditions & Infrastructure

Two indications are provided on cycling provision. The Level of Traffic Stress indicator assesses general road condictions for cycling, including road type, traffic speed and cycle lane provision. The second Cycle Infrastructure indicator measures the extent and quality of cycle infrastructure, favouring protected cycle lanes segregated from road traffic. The data is derived from OpenStreetMap.
