| Comment | They have to be on main roads.
Because main roads are where shops, schools, post offices, all amenities you can think of, and connections to other routes are.
If you're designing a network to encourage and support more cycling for normal, typical daily journeys (to and from amenities and to and from different neighborhoods), you need to build them along main roads.
You don't encourage more cycling by telling people to take meandering routes along dark, off road paths. You do it by making the journey as easy to make as possible. |
