Painted Cycle Lane: Street Elements throughout PDA Projects

__________________________________

The Aundh DP Road is characterized by slow movement of vehicles. The pedestrian crossings act as speed tables that regulate the speed of vehicles on the stretch. This makes it possible to include a painted cycle lane on the street. The cold painted cycle lane has been proposed as a part of the M.V lane on both sides. It encourages safety of cyclists by defining their right of way, equivalent to the concept of a Zebra crossing. The drivers are expected to give priority to the cyclists using the cycle lane. A buffer space has been provided with the parking to tackle the conflict between parking of cars and cyclists. It is the area on a public road that is designated purely to cyclists. These lanes are designed to ensure the safety of nearby cyclists as well as pedestrians and motorists. This allows local cyclists to have a safe and secure way to travel on busy areas that otherwise may have been dangerous for them.
