For Real Bike Lanes in Lausanne

Avatar: Ingrid Ingrid

1. Context:

Most bike lanes in Lausanne consist of a dotted line on the roadway. This type of infrastructure is dangerous for cyclists because it does not provide sufficient protection from cars and buses traveling at different speeds. Furthermore, these dotted bike lanes are regularly used by drivers as drop-off zones or parking spaces.

--------------------

2. Proposal:

Implement true shared-road usage among pedestrians, bicycles, and cars, where the different sections are physically demarcated using either bollards, posts, or sidewalks. And stop simply marking bike lanes with dashed lines or red zones.

--------------------

3. Motivation:

Everyone would have space to move around safely and at their own pace in the city.
