This publication contains key information that relates to the planning, design and traffic management of cycling facilities and is sourced from Austroads Guides, primarily the Guide to Road Design, the Guide to Traffic Management and the Guide to Road Safety. Cycling Aspects of Austroads Guides has been produced to ensure that key information is readily available for practitioners who have a specific interest in cycling issues and facilities. However, users of the report should be aware that: • The design guidance is summarised for the convenience of practitioners and reference may have to be made to the relevant Austroads Guide for important details relating to particular topics or situations. Consequently this report provides a high level of cross-referencing to Austroads Guides. • It is highly recommended that practitioners who are less experienced in the planning and design of bicycle facilities refer to the original Austroads Guides. While the report provides an overview of planning and traffic management considerations, practitioners will need to refer to other Guides and texts for detailed information on these subject areas, some of which are referenced in the Austroads Guides.
