Improved accessibility and way finding in conjunction with roadwork
The project objective was to identify various measures and their effects in relation to mobility and accessibility for cyclists and ensuring cyclists excellent conditions in connection with roadwork’s.
There was a focus on many facets of the establishment of road works, for example, barriers, road closures, traffic safety, the placement of signs, sufficient wide temporary cycle paths, as well as access between the bicycle path and sidewalk, insuring shop owners that customers by bicycle still had access to the shops.
A catalogue of possible initiatives and actions was developed, including the concept of visual communication through signs and route guidance to ensure a good and safe accessibility when the street was converted to construction site.
Concept for guidance of cyclist without chores in the street, mainly commuters were guided along a parallel street. Cyclists where met by signposting before they reached the roadwork, with information on the alternative route. There were established lines that guided the cyclists so that they avoided the roadwork, thereby achieving an easier bike ride.
