Stepping up ambition: bicycle street is a first step...

...and not the last! It should never be our final goal to create bicycle streets here and there. We need to see them as stepping stones to our wider ambitions. Let's celebrate that more and more cities are developing bicycle streets (where the role of the car is back to what it should be: a guest that has to adapt to others).













Below, find some ideas for new road signs that can help us in thinking more ambitious. For almost no costs (compare with infra) a very strong message can be send to those that enter our cities, neighborhoods, regions and/or countries. They are based on the Dutch sign for Fietsstraten that was elected as the best out of a series. Feel free to use and improve them!

  4. Great signs. I try to do most of my city transport by bike, but I got a folding bike in order to take transport, or when I really have to drive as well, I can put the bike in my trunk easily. When I do drive, I always try to be very courteous to cyclists - as courteous as I would like drivers to be to me, at least. - Chris
