Tunnels and cycling
BQ believes that cycling should be catered for in all urban transport projects.
For tunnels where cycling is not allowed, then existing roads adjacent to the tunnels need to be improved for cycling safety, as part of the traffic reduction on 'above-ground' roads that the tunnels offer. Tunnels afford a benefit to sustainable transport if this option is taken up.
During construction, cycling invariably suffers for major projects, which is regrettable as it disrupts the adoption of cycling as a transport option when riders have no viable alternate route available.
Better safe access during construction is critical to safety and cycling.
