Cycle Street is a street which is a main cycle route but which is open to motorised local access
traffic. It is part of a longer main cycle route, other sections of which may typically comprise quiet
streets, traffic free paths or segregated / hybrid provision alongside busy roads. It should carry low
levels of motor traffic, high levels of cycling, and provide cyclists with a level of service comparable
to that provided by a high quality traffic free route.
A Cycle Street differs from a quiet street in that through its design and high level of cycle use,
cyclists are encouraged to assume priority over motor vehicles.
Compared to a traffic free route, a Cycle Street can provide a high quality of provision for cyclists
whilst offering improved accessibility, better personal security and less use of space.
The objectives of a Cycle Street are to:
• Present a legible design recognisable to all types of user as a main cycle route
• Influence behaviour so that cyclists assume priority with drivers of motor vehicles behaving
as ‘guests’
• Maintain priority and safety for cyclists
• Attract experienced cyclists as well as less confident cyclists
These objectives are largely achieved through the design features of the street rather than regulation.
Typical features that may be encountered on a Cycle Street include:
• Cyclists sharing the same road space as motor vehicles
• Use of surface markings to encourage cyclists to position themselves in the primary position
• Redesign of junctions to reinforce this behaviour
• Cyclist priority at junctions
• Speeds of 20mph or below
• Narrow street profile
• High level of cycle use
• More cyclists than drivers
• Psychological and physical traffic calming
• Contraflow cycling on one-way streets
• Road closures
