1. Presentation<\/strong><\/p>\n Network that results from a broad vision integrating the transport system and the built environment. It corresponds to a specific infrastructure<\/strong> that combines different components of the road network and is preferentially or exclusively oriented to bicycle users.<\/p>\n A well-connected cycling network provides a safe, direct and enjoyable mobility experience, enabling people of all ages and abilities to reach their destinations.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 2. Objectives<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 3. Measure’s importance<\/strong><\/p>\n The provision of an integrated cycling network provides comfort, safety and efficiency for bicycle commuting, as well as a more favourable environment for the other active modes of transport. It is a key step towards creating the conditions for everyone (including children, women, the elderly) to feel able to cycle with safety and autonomy, reducing the need to use the car in the territory served by the network. In addition, the measure contributes to reducing the risk of accidents and the feeling of insecurity in the public space, with low construction and maintenance costs when compared to the infrastructure for motor vehicles.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n
