6.2 The Bicycle Network
Based on conclusions from section 4.1, there are some aspects which are recurrent along the analyzed networks. In order to increase the security it is necessary to homogenize the speed of the different users or segregate the network (fig. 4). It was noted that on many occasions when the bike path is achieved at the expense of reducing the sidewalk, this was still used by pedestrians (fig. 6, fig. 10 and fig. 11.) In these cases it will be necessary to strengthen signaling, to promote awareness campaigns and to ask for some patience to the riders. Some problems of minimum size of widths, pavement in poor condition, missing or worn road markings and poor curves radios (fig. 5, fig. 6 and fig. 8) were as well found.
