Overview
Unsafe bicycle infrastructure, poor design and unsafe traffic conditions are important reasons for people not to cycle or to cycle more. If we want to promote cycling and make bicycle infrastructure successful, we need to take this into account. A systematic and technical safety check of the design characteristics will tell you how safe you bicycle infrastructure is. And what could be improved. Why are such reviews needed? What kind of insights does it deliver? And how is it done?
During this free, 30 minute webinar bicycle expert and safety auditor Pleun Smits will introduce you to the basics of safety audits. You’ll also get to learn about some typical safety issues in bicycle infrastructure design.
Will you be there? It’s a great way to get inspired!
