A method for setting priorities for measures designed for pedestrians and cyclists - criteria and guidelines

The objective of the report was to develop a tool based on a point system for assessing in a consistent way both (a) the need for road facilities (tracks or crossing facilities) for pedestrians and cyclists, and (b) how to assign priorities between multiple projects. The system is developed as a spreedsheet tool and will be used by Norwegian Road Authorities. It is emphasized that the tool should be easy to apply and that the data input for the different criterias are easy available. The criterias included in the tool are the volume and speed of motor traffic, estimates of the current and future volumes of walking and cycling, the number of injury accidents during the last ten years and the number of children walking or cyling along the road on trips to and from scholl.
