Abstract

We compare the person flow on cycle tracks and lanes for motorized traffic on seven streets in Santiago, Chile. In peak periods, we find that most streets have a higher person flow rate per lane using motor vehicles than riding bicycles. However, when the consumption of road space is considered, the conclusion is reversed as most cycle tracks achieve a greater person flow per meter of width than the lanes for motor vehicles in the same street. An analysis of transport capacity for car and cycle lanes provides results in line with our empirical findings.
