Shared Paths
Shared paths – the issues They [cyclists] go ‘whoosh’ as they go past, and often the “ paths aren’t very wide, so this notion that you have to share has to come with more thought. If there’s not enough room it’s not a good match. If it’s got to be shared it’s got to be wider. Or separation between them.” Quote from focus groups with Victorian seniors (Garrard 2013) Thank You Victoria Walks would like to acknowledge and thank the following organisations who provided source information and feedback on the initial draft of this paper. • CDM Research • Frankston City Council • Wyndham City Council • Malcolm Daff Consulting • City of Yarra • Cardinia City Council Victoria Walks would also like to thank Dr Jan Garrard, VicRoads and officers from the following councils, who provided comment on the draft – Ballarat, Bayside, Boroondara, Brimbank, Dandenong, Latrobe, Macedon Ranges, Manningham, Maroondah, Melton, Moonee Valley, Mornington Peninsula, Nillumbik and Surf Coast. Finally, Victoria Walks would like to thank the Municipal Association of Victoria (MAV) for facilitating engagement with councils. Acknowledgement of these organisations should not be implied as endorsement of this paper and its recommendations by any of the organisations named. Shared Paths – the issues. Version 3.1, May 2015 ©Victoria Walks Inc. Registration No. A0052693U Recommended citation Victoria Walks (2015). Shared paths – the issues, Melbourne, Victoria Walks. Shared paths – the issues Outline This paper considers issues around shared walking and cycling paths. It reviews the literature relating to: • The safety of shared paths, including collision risk, the speed of cyclists and potential impact on pedestrians • User perception of shared paths • The circumstances where walking and cycling paths should be segregated or separated • International and local design guidance around shared paths • The practice of converting footpaths to shared paths • Legal liability issues raised by shared paths. -
