Good Cycling Facility of the Week: 16th March 2017

This week's Good Facility is a cycleway passing a petrol station in the Dutch city of Delft.

Rather than dealing with conflict points on entry and exit of the petrol station, the cycleway simply passes 'behind' the petrol station, free from any interaction with motor traffic. No delay, and no danger.

The cycleway has a separate footway, and its own street lighting, separate from the road. It is bi-directional (along with another equivalent cycleway on the other side of the road) so people do not have to cross the road to cycle in the 'wrong' direction.
