Always err on the side of cyclists? Copenhagen Road Safety & Active Travel Series - Post #33 Another glimpse into the Danish culture, here bus drivers vs cyclists :-) This intersection of H. C. Andersens Boulevard and Vesterbrogade is the busiest in Copenhagen. But, even here you can see that bus drivers act cautiously and make sure the cyclists have fully stopped for the bike signals before making the right-hand turn. This is a reflection of Copenhagen’s driving culture which has emerged along with road laws that emphasise the duty of care drivers have toward cyclists and pedestrians. You can see this attitude of greater care in action in this clip. Do you notice a difference in behaviour from the traffic in your area? Video: Respect in Motion; Watch how bus drivers in Copenhagen prioritise cyclist safety at this intersection by waiting and carefully giving way to several cyclists. About this series: Over the next 3 months, we'll share curated snapshots of Copenhagen's streets and urban environment. Our goal is to bring more road safety and active travel learnings to Australia/New Zealand. Stay tuned! Before 1962 Copenhagen was a city dominated by cars. Since then, the city has evolved to become one of the most pedestrian and cyclist friendly places in the world. Apart from Australia’s royal connection with Denmark, several Australian cities have been strongly influenced by Danish approaches to urban design. Seeing is believing and the snapshots we’re bringing you provide an opportunity to imagine what is possible.

Happy Friday! 🥳 "Thud-thud-thud" 😁 Yes, you heard right—rumble strips for bicycles! Copenhagen Road Safety & Active Travel Series - Post #32 Cyclists too love their speed, sometimes, but just like drivers, they need reminders to slow down. Here you can see rumble strips used to remind Copenhagen cyclists they are approaching a pedestrian crossing. The rumble created by the five strips and the traffic signal work together to encourage the cyclists to give way when the light changes. Have you ever come across this application of rumble strips? Video: Rumble strips installed on a bicycle lane to slow down cyclists before a pedestrian crossing.

Dutch Sustainable Safety's Homogeneity Principle in Action in Copenhagen! Copenhagen Road Safety & Active Travel Series - Post #31 Yes, it’s busy & chaotic – but at least the traffic’s all cyclists, just like you! The name of Denmark’s wonderful storyteller Hans Christian Andersen was chosen for the city’s busiest stretch of road as one way to remember him. Not only busy for cars but also for bikes, especially during the daily commute. With such a volume of transport modes going in and out each day, the importance of the physically separated bike lanes cannot be overstated. It is a way of ensuring that extremely important feeling of safety for the cyclists. So, while you are jostling with other traffic to get where you are going, at least the other traffic is the same size as you! How safe does this scene look to you?

Copenhagen school run! Copenhagen Road Safety & Active Travel Series - Post #30 Two kids cycling home with mum – let's have more of this in Melbourne! This example is a great mix of design, culture and education working beautifully together... The busy Cycle Route 51 combines with the traffic bottleneck that is Jagtvej, one of the highest volume vehicle arteries in the city. This presents a challenge for Nørrebro Park School: how to protect the kids when they arrive and depart? With traffic islands, dedicated bike turning lanes and lights as well as a lower speed limit of 40 km/h, the zone's design aims to protect children. Would you add anything to the design?

Fuzzy logic! Copenhagen Road Safety & Active Travel Series - Post #29 Rigid Rules or Real-Time Negotiation: Embracing Human-Centered Mobility There are intersections in Copenhagen that work like this!

Need a pit stop? Copenhagen Road Safety & Active Travel Series - Post #28 A flat tire won’t stop you on Copenhagen's super bike network! Route C99 - the Albertslund Route - is one of Copenhagen’s network of super bike paths for commuters that connect the suburbs to the city centre. To make the decision to take your bike as easy as possible, there are bicycle pumps and water facilities every 1.6 km. So, even if you get a flat, you only have a short walk to get some air and keep going. Have you ever found yourself stuck on a bike path looking for air, water, or the bathroom?!

Being centrally located means that generous bike parking is needed to accommodate people riding in from the surrounding areas and to make the bike a no-brainer option. There are charging facilities for e-bikes, larger parking bays for cargo bikes as well as a team of bicycle mechanics who also offer a bike wash service for 100 krone.

ＦＩＴ ＦＯＲ ＰＵＲＰＯＳＥ? Copenhagen Road Safety & Active Travel Series - Post #26 When the Red Square in Copenhagen’s linear park, Super Kilen, was first completed in 2012, the red paint used on the surfaces proved to be slippery when wet. While it achieved the visual requirements in terms of the design vision, it fell short of the practical needs of the pedestrians and cyclists. The solution was to pave the pedestrian areas with bricks and to resurface the bike path with silica sand and a dirt repelling finish. With new street designs rolling out across Australasia, like Queensland’s first safe active street in Toowoomba, how should we incorporate lessons learned from projects like Super Kilen?

𝑨 𝑺𝒖𝒑𝒆𝒓 𝑾𝒆𝒅𝒈𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒑𝒖𝒃𝒍𝒊𝒄 𝒔𝒑𝒂𝒄𝒆! Copenhagen Road Safety & Active Travel Series - Post #25 In the heart of Copenhagen’s Nørrebro - once voted the coolest suburb in the world by Time Out magazine – lies the Super Wedge, or Super Kilen in Danish. This public space is built along an old train line and connects one of the main cycling routes through the city. Heading north, you start at the Red Square, continue through the Black Square and on to the longer green section of parkland. The striking long white lines of the asphalt art in the Black Square immediately catch the eye, but also create a sense of flow and direction from which the bike path emerges. Whether you are playing chess, climbing the asphalt hill, or watching your children play on the Black Octopus, this space invites all sorts of recreation. Have you seen anything like Super Kilen before?
