Abstract

Cycling is a sustainable mode of travel and is supported by a number of government strategies. While there are benefits in promoting more cycling, the risk of having a crash while cycling is typically higher than while travelling as a driver or passenger in a motor vehicle. Recent research has demonstrated a safety in numbers effect for cyclists. While this is reassuring, the challenge is to create an environment for cyclists that is as safe as possible. This can be achieved through a series of measures, including, reducing traffic volumes and speeds on high volume cycle routes, building on-road cycle lanes and intersection facilities and construction of off-road cycle paths. This technical note reports on a study that has used the empirical Bayes method (before and after studies) and crash prediction models to determine safety benefits of these measures/treatments.
