1. Presentation<\/strong><\/p>\n This measure entails the implementation of limited speed zones<\/strong> (20 to 30 km\/hour) and the logistic\/supervision system required to enforce them. It creates privileged zones, where the road space is shared between cars and bicycles, by reducing the speed to levels compatible with the bicycle. In this manner, the so called \u201cinvisible\u201d, and therefore less expensive, cycling infrastructure is expanded.<\/p>\n (See also other traffic calming measures: Horizontal and vertical road deflections<\/a><\/u>; Road narrowing<\/u><\/a>; Car connectivity restrictions<\/a><\/u>; Limited car access areas<\/a><\/u>; Car free zones<\/u><\/a>)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 2. Objectives<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 3. Measure\u00b4s Importance<\/strong><\/p>\n The creation of limited speed zones is fundamental to promote behaviour compatibility between the different means of transportation (motorized and non-motorized), thus assuring the best possible co-existence in the same space. It is a relatively effective way to adapt the physical context to the user\u2019s actual needs, thus promoting bicycle use.<\/p>\n\n
