Abstract
In the present study, research is carried out on provision of cycle tracks in Tiruchirappalli. The study area comprises four roads within K.K Nagar, covering a distance of 5 km and surrounded by schools and residential buildings i.e., Simco Meter Road, Rajaram Salai Road, Kajamalai Road and Race Course Road. Traffic volumes during peak hours are measured in each road segment and video graphic studies, spot speed studies have been done for bicyclists and compared with IRC Standards. Preliminary geometric data were collected for all four roads and analyzed. The typical cross-sections of different roads have been shown and based on the requirement and space availability; the cycle tracks are proposed with and without shy distance including side walk wherever possible along with available widths based on IRC standards. The comfort levels of cycle users on road segment are found in terms of Bicycle Level-Of-Service (BLOS) for the considered study area. It is inferred that, LOS for the proposed geometric details with separate cycle track for bicyclists is better than the LOS of the bicyclists on the existing road.
