Central London Cycle Grid
This will provide:
– Separated cycle ways, with segregation and low speed environments where practicable and appropriate
– Two-way cycling on one-way streets
– Clear way finding, strong identity and easy to see
- Mini Hollands

In summary
Lessons Learnt• Widely broadcast travel advice• Flexibility - Respond to real time road traffic patterns - Influence arrival/departure stations - Overcoming tube line signal failure• Centrally located control centre• Main venue readily accessible by public transport• Legacy • i) Identifying and managing large groups on street ii) Using space (in stations) in different way – ITS element iii) Individually targeted information – estimated 33% of regular
travellers altered behaviour iv) Freight deliveries out of hours ?
v) People like human contact - more staff visible
