Transport publishes a guide to help municipalities build cycle paths. Guide of recommendations for the design of cycling infrastructure launches this Friday.

It asks that the paths for cyclists be protected, separated with physical elements and at the expense of the space of the cars. The complexity of the work — with consultations with dozens of organizations and local entities — has delayed the publication of the white paper, which comes at a political moment in which some future mayors have threatened to reverse these infrastructures. The guide sets out the basic criteria that cycling networks must meet to be effective, that is, to get more people to use them.
