  6. Walking Audit • Wheredoesitmake sense? • Howtoconvincedecisionmakerstosupportwalkingaudits? Whatbenefitsare in forthem? • Whichtoolstoapply in yoursituation? Recommendationsforstarters, climbers, forerunners? • Howtoinstitutionaliseauditsofpublicspace? • Possibilitiesfordatacollection on pedestriantraffic.

  7. Bike-pedestrianconflicts • Whatare „hotspots“ ofconflicts in yourcities? Wheredoesitworkwellto mix? • Basic strategy – whatworks? • Separation ofpedestriansandcyclists? (Move cyclists on theroad?) • Mixing – sharedspace & co. • Encourage mutual respect– edcuatepeople • Controls andsanctions • Can pedestriansandcyclistsbecomealliesforneighbourhoodmobility? • Planningprinciple: 1. Pedestrians – 2. Cyclists – 3. Motorisedtraffic (fromtheedgetothecentre) – isthisbecomingmainstream? Photo: Jörg Thiemann-Linden

  8. Accidentriskspedestriansandcyclists • Conflicts between cyclists and pedestrians of little significance in accident statistics. • Pedestrians involved in only around six per cent of all accidents in which cyclists were injured. • Around 15 per cent of accidents in which pedestrians were injured involved a cyclist. • In more than 60 per cent of accidents involving both groups, the cyclist is the main cause. Mainly collisions caused by cycling at inappropriate speeds and abrupt changes in direction. • Normally, severity of the accidents is low • Pedestrians clearly bear the risk of being hurt in an accident. • Besides that – numerous conflicts without injuries as common sources of anger and hostile environment between cyclists and pedestrians
