Guidelines for Cycle Audit and Cycle Review The Institution of Highways and Transportation London, 1998 Form CRP2 Cycle Review Of Stage 2: Level Of Service Assessment 1. Motor vehicle flow (peak hour) award scores in proportion to value 0-19 vph 25 to 22 20-99 vph 21 to 16 100-199 vph 15 to 11 200-499 vph 10 to 1 1000-2000 vph 0 to -5 % Heavy vehicles (HGVs + buses) 0 to -5 <2%=0; 2%to5%=-2; >5%=-5 2. Motor vehicle speed (85th percentile, 12 hour average) 0-10 mph 25 to 20 No motor vehicles = 25 11-20 mph 24 to 20 21-30 mph 19 to 10 31-40 mph 9 to 0 41-50 mph -1 to -10 51-60+ mph -11 to -20 3. Junctions Large roundabouts/ complex junctions 0 to -20 -4 for each junction per km Other junctions where cyclists may have to give way 0 to -4 <2 per km=0; 2 to 3 per km = -2; >3 per km =-4 Advanced stop lines for cyclists 6 to 0 ASL at some junctions = 3; ASL at most/all = 6 Side-roads (cyclists maintain priority) 0 to -5 <5 per km = 0; 5-10 per km = -2; >10 per km = -5 Side-roads (cyclists lose priority)* 0 to -20 -1 for each side road per km Accesses/driveways to private premises* 0 to -10 None/infrequent = 0; intermediate = -3; frequent = -6 4. Width Nearside lane 2.5-3.0m 8 to 13 Exclude width of any cycle lane or protected Nearside lane 3.1-3.5 m 14 to 18 parking bays. Where lane Nearside lane 3.6-4.0 m 19 to 26 is narrowed by frequent Nearside lane 4.1-4.5 m 27 to 31 horizontal deflections take the restricted width. If no lane markings, take full effective width. Bus lane 10 Add to above score for bus lane width Cycle lane 1.2-2.0 m 22 to 30 add to above score for adjacent lane width Kerbside parking or deliveries (peak hour) Few=0; intermediate=-4; (not in cycle lane) 0 to -8 regular=-8 Kerbside parking or deliveries (peak hour) 0 to -20 Few=0; intermediate=-10; (in cycle lane) regular=-20 Horizontal deflections (where lane <4.0m) 0 to -10 -1 for each narrowing per km Cycle track 1.50-3.0m* 15 to 30 deduct 0.25m per side if bounded Forward visibility 0 to -12 -4 for each location where standards not met 5. Convenience Gradients 5 to -5 <3% =5; 3-5% =0; 6-7%=-3; >7%= -5 Access/turning restrictions 0 to -10 -2 per restriction per km Barriers/dismount signs* 0 to -10 -3 per barrier/sign per km Public access points to route* 4 to 0 per access per km Directness (Relative to direct (road) route)** 0 to -20 -2 for each additional 1% deviation Direction signing quality* 0 to -5 Pedestrian flow* 0 to -9 none = 0; light = -2; intermediate = -5; heavy = -9 Opposing cycle flow* 0 to -9 none = 0; light = -2; intermediate = -5; heavy = -9 6. Riding Surface Surface material 10 to 0 metalled = 10; unmetalled but firm = 5; other =0 Surface quality(vertical deflections, upstands, rolling resistance 5 to -5 award scores in proportion to quality (potholes, vegetation,glass etc) 0 to -5 ³ 7 Social safety Surveillance (Extent overlooked by buildings 5 to -5 mostly = 5; partly = 0; rarely = -5 Street lighting 5 to -5 Highway std = 5; footway std = 0; none = -5 8. Other any significant factors not 10 to -10 eg special design or included above traffic features or aesthetics TOTAL SCORE: LEVEL OF SERVICE: (see below) A, B, C, D, E, F ------------- * Complete only for off-carriageway routes ** Complete only for off-carriageway cycle routes and routes not otherwise signed ie back-street routes -------------- Level of Service A 81-100 B 61-80 C 41-60 D 21-40 E 1-20 F 0 or less
