cont'd: Pop-up bike lanes (or emergency bike lanes) are temporary cycling infrastructure to help cyclists to maintain spatial distance to minimise the risk of infection and relieve public transport. @Felix_Weisbrich on #TUMITV about the concept:
cont'd: Cycling superhighways are premium end of cycling market, allowing for higher travel speeds and extending the range of bicycles to longer distances with average speed of 20 km/h (design speed of 30 km/h) by limiting gradients, width of >4m , priority at intersections, ...
