To help develop University Transport Strategy we need to determine what standards and guidance on active transport infrastructure are good. Some standards are substantially deficient and others have good bits and bad bits, blindly following them can result in some poor designs.
Making Space for Cycling
This is good.
IAN 195/16 Cycle traffic and the strategic road network
This is good, particularly for its definition of the cycle design vehicle and its ruling out of the use of chicanes etc.
Design Portfolio B.08 Access and Speed Controls
This is old and deficient mostly consisting of bad practice and while the text says "don't do these things" people do those things.
Local Transport Note 2/08: Cycle Infrastructure Design
This is old and while it has good bits it also has examples of bad design, such as Figures 8.6, 8.7 and 8.8.
