Visualisations of the possibilities to distinguish a long main bicycle route through an urban environment.

  • The regional bicycle network that BRU intends to develop will have to be a coherent entity providing as straight a route as possible to cyclists. In addition BRU wishes to design the bicycle network as an attractive and recognizable element. A distinctive design of the bicycle network clearly demonstrates to the potential user that this is the shortest route. Moreover, such a quality concept may also appeal to potential users in deciding to forego the car. This document constitutes a first reconnaissance to which degree design may contribute to visibility and appeal of such a network. On the basis of a concise analysis of the network and inspiration by a wide range of different projects a toolbox has been composed. Elements of this toolbox are then tested in a visual montage for the separate parts of the network.
