Bike Routes will be integrated with urban public transport networks: The principles and procedures regarding the planning, design, construction and operation of bicycle paths, bicycle stations and bicycle parking areas were determined in order to ensure that the bicycles were used for transportation purposes.
The Regulation on the Design and Construction of the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization on Bicycle Roads, Bicycle Stations and Bicycle Parking Areas on Urban Roads was published in the Official Gazette and entered into force.
The regulation regulates the procedures and principles regarding the planning, design, construction and operation of bicycle paths, bicycle stations and bicycle parking spaces for the use of bicycles for transportation purposes.
According to the regulation, bicycle paths will be designed in such a way as to establish a network to connect transport points and the central regions of the settlements, where topography is available first, in order to meet the transportation needs of its users and to ensure the safe passage of the crossings and crossings in the traffic flow system.
When designing bicycle paths and networks, the most convenient route will be preferred for cycling. Bike path network, intersections and urban furniture, landscape elements and building parcels by dividing the minimum number of the road based on the continuity of the road, from a starting point to the destination will be made to go without interruption to the destination.
The bicycle path network will be designed from the motor vehicle roads, taking into account the traffic hierarchy, so that cyclists can be clearly seen by other vehicles in road passes. The bicycle paths will be adjusted according to the stance of the sight that will provide the necessary reaction and braking distance to stop when cyclists face unexpected situations.
In the design of the bicycle paths, it is preferable to use the same and one way as the traffic flow, but double-sided strips can also be created when sufficient width and signaling system is provided.
- Connect to public transport networks
In order to make the use of bicycles for transportation purposes, it will be ensured that the authorized bicycle paths will be integrated to connect public transport networks such as metro, train, bus, ferry and so on.
Buses with bicycle transport apparatus will be used on public transportation and routes, and trainers will be given the necessary training and information will be given. Buses with a bicycle transport apparatus will be used primarily on roads with heavy traffic and heavy traffic.
Compliance of the city rail transport systems with the use of bicycles will be implemented in accordance with the relevant opinion of the relevant administration, within the limits of the daily number of passengers when the passenger density is high and at the other hours without any number limitation.
The compliance of the urban sea transport with the use of bicycles will be implemented within the framework of the appropriate opinion of the relevant administration, within the limits of the daily number during the hours when the passenger density is high and at the other hours without any number limitation.
Taking into account the number and weight of bicycles, national or international certified bicycle transport equipment will be used by public administration vehicles.
- Roads will be blue
Bike paths will be painted with long-lasting blue color paint. Traffic signs and signs and signaling systems will be established on the bicycle network in accordance with the transportation systems in the whole city.
There will be enough parking stations and parking spaces to meet the needs of bicycle users on the bicycle path networks.
In case of a cycling path at the university campuses, dormitories and educational buildings will be designed to be connected to each other and bicycle parks will be constructed in dormitories and educational buildings that will meet the needs.
In the planning of new settlements, considering the property texture and geographical features of the land, the road widths specified in the “TS 9826” standard will be planned by adding the minimum bicycle path widths in the city roads that are deemed appropriate.
At the point of intersection with the highways on the route of the bicycle path and bicycle path, at least 1 / 500 scale road project will be carried out and the decision of UKOME in metropolitan municipalities will be applied with the decision of city council in accordance with the decision of provincial / district traffic commission in other municipalities.
A name or code will be assigned to the route of each cycle path. In general, cycling routes will be planned on the right side of the road between the road platform and the sidewalk.
- One-way roads to the right of the road
Bike paths are two-way on both sides of the road, one-way or on the right side of the road in the same direction as motor vehicle traffic on one-way roads, on both sides of the road in one direction or in one direction on one side of the road if it cannot be realized. will be designed according to required dimensions.
Bike paths will be used by disabled people and used by vehicles with speed limits.
Planning and implementation will be done in protected areas and protected areas in accordance with the Law on Protection of Cultural and Natural Assets. The provisions of this Regulation shall apply if the provisions of the conservation development plans are not in contrast.
If a bicycle path is built on the sidewalk, the minimum width of the pavement width other than the bicycle path on the sidewalk “TS 12576 will be met.
The TS 11782 standards will be sought in the bicycle parking places where the cyclists can leave their bicycles safely, which are illuminated, weather-resistant, free from motor vehicle traffic and where the bicycles can be parked collectively, and bicycle parking spaces meet the need.
Bike stations and bicycle parking places will be designed to be close to bicycle paths and in a way that will be safe against theft and not to interfere with vehicle and pedestrian traffic. In addition, a number of bicycle stations and bicycle parking spaces will be created to meet the demand intensity of the city's attractions.
- Informational signs
Bike stations and bicycle parking spaces can be seen remotely and these areas will be identified by informative signs and signs. In addition, access to stations and parking lots will be designed so that there are no steep ramps and stairways.
Bike stations and bicycle parking spaces, public transport, rail, sea transport and intercity transportation terminals will be built to easily reach these public transport networks for easy integration.
In case of long-term use of bicycle stations and bicycle parking spaces, the bicycle parking lot will be arranged in a closed position.
Bike stations and bike parking places include a bicycle lock mechanism, which allows the bicycles to be securely locked and secured in a certain order, and will be designed so that bikes can be easily and conveniently located in the parking spaces.
Bicycle parking equipment will be resistant to impacts and weather conditions. Bike stations and parking spaces will be designed as perpendicular or angled, single row, two rows, circular or semicircular to the road as indicated by the location.
- Bikes to be placed 45 degree angle to the road
In a single-row road, the bicycles will be placed at the 45 angle, the parking band width will be designed as 1,35 meters and the two bicycles are 0,85 meters.
Bicycles parked on a tree or pole, in full or half circularly created bicycles parking lot. On the bicycle parking lot, which is created as a hanging, bikes will park on the wall semi-perpendicularly.
Bike parking spaces in accordance with national or international standards or certified are deemed appropriate by the relevant municipality.
The bicycle paths will be illuminated in accordance with the minimum regulations for night safety and driving comfort and projected to reflect the light on the cyclist's face.
