The focus is for changing neighbourhood streets in ways that slows traffic and complements cycling networks under local bike plans and strategies. It is an urban design-based approach to foster redesign of streets, help tame the behaviour of motorists and riders and make local streets safe for everyone to use and enjoy and will also be good for local businesses and service providers.
Aim & objectives
- Make neighbourhood streets safe for all to use and enjoy.
- Design or re-design local neighbourhood streets to:
- make all vulnerable users safe by introducing 30km/h speed zoning
- primarily serve residential needs while maintaining essential vehicular access
- further improve amenity through adaptations that serve people’s use and enjoyment
- make every street a cycle street, for a connected neighbourhood and city.
