This is why Germany, Austria and Switzerland are pushing for the rapid expansion of the cycle path network. In cramped road conditions, however, safe cycling guidance becomes a challenge. A transnational consortium under the leadership of Salzburg Research is investigating not only objective safety but also the subjective perception of safety and is developing evidence-based recommendations. In cramped road conditions, especially in critical cross-sections with lane widths of only six to 8.5 metres, conflicts and incidents with the various road users increase. Overtaking manoeuvres with little distance, so-called &#8220;dooring&#8221; accidents with parked vehicles, but also conflicts with pedestrians when cyclists swerve into the side space are inevitable. Although the regulations in the DACH region contain recommendations for the guidance of cyclists on such stretches of road, they are handled very differently. New solution options such as overtaking bans, protective lanes, bicycle pictogram chains [&hellip;]"}
