Collisions

Although cycling is not an inherently unsafe activity, collisions are more frequent than they should be due to lack of cycle infrastructure. Data is from DfT/police STATS19, from 1999-2023. See definitions.

Bikeshare schemes

Automated cycle hire schemes enable people to use a bike without needing to own one.

Data here currently covers only London and Barcelona, but will be extended in due course.

Popup cycleways - suggested

This layer shows potential suggested popup cycleways, arising from research at Leeds University.

For full details, see the Rapid Cycleway Prioritisation Tool.

Popup cycleways - initial COVID locations

This historic data layer shows potential popup cycleways that were being implemented by councils in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, as of July 2020.

Many thanks to Cycling UK for their work collecting this data, whose map we have used.

The list may not be complete, due to limitations in capacity to collect the data at the time.

Traffic count data

This map contains official traffic counts of all main roads in the UK, for each type of vehicle. This is a visualisation of the DfT's AADF (Annual Average Daily Flows) data. Figures are average daily counts.

Based on work originally by Alex Ingram at hfcyclists.

Trip lengths

How far do people cycle in an area? We've made available aggregated data from the CycleStreets journey planner, representing real user journey intentions. Bear in mind this is only one data source.

Cycle parking

Knowing where you can find cycle parking as a cyclist, especially in cities, is helpful in avoiding theft, as well as helping keeping busy streets tidy.

Cycle theft

Bike theft can mean people giving up cycling entirely. Cities are failing to provide secure cycle parking in public and residential areas.

Cycleability ratings

This layer shows ratings of the cycleability rating of every street and path. Data comes from the CycleStreets routing engine.

Currently this only shows a maximum of 400 linear features at a time. Please contact us via the feedback form if you need mass extracts covering a larger region.

Road/path widths

This layer shows a calculation of road/path widths. Data is processed by the CyIPT project and comes from DCLG / OS.

TfL Cycling Infrastructure Database (CID)

TfL's CID is a comprehensive and attribute-rich dataset of all cycle infrastructure throughout London. The data is a snapshot in time ranging between January 2017 and May 2018.

The TfL CID schema is available, as is a GeoJSON API for developers. Raw data downloads are available from TfL.

Feature type:

Cycle campaign groups

Advocates for improved cycle infrastructure are key to making change happen. There are many local groups around the country.

Footways London

Footways is a network of quiet and interesting streets for walking in central London.

Modal filters

Modal filters (or 'point closures') are measures to restrict through-traffic. These facilitate safer streets for cycling and walking, as well as improving residential amenity.

You can give feedback on a location, by using the button in the popup, or right-click to add a missing location.

Show types:

Various types are shown:

Bollards/gates within a street, that prevent through-traffic but allow walking and cycling
Gaps within a street that form a short section of cycleway/walkway, similarly preventing through-traffic
Streets abutting main roads but with only a cycleway/pavement between them
Bus gates, which allow bus and cycle access to particular areas

For performance reasons, a maximum of 2,000 locations are shown. Zoom in to avoid this limit being hit.

The data shown here is the result of automated analysis of OpenStreetMap data, undertaken by CycleStreets.

We continue to refine the analysis to remove false-positives and to add additional types.

Low-Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs)

This experimental data shows whether each street is either:

An LTN / no-through traffic
A through-route (i.e. rat-running possible)
A through-route, but with traffic calming

We treat classified roads (i.e. C roads and bigger) as the roads which divide up areas, as those have historically been considered to intend through-driving, though there are exceptions.

The data shown here is the result of automated analysis of OpenStreetMap data, undertaken by CycleStreets.

This work is in beta at present, with known bugs. We continue to refine the analysis.

One-way streets without contraflows

This experimental data shows one-way streets that do not yet allow two-way cycling.

Allowing two-way cycling on local streets is a simple way to make cycling easier, and there is little evidence of any safety issue. Have a look at Cambridge to see how few are now left.

The official government guidance is that "There should be a general presumption in favour of cycling in both directions in one way streets, unless there are safety, operational or cost reasons why it is not feasible." – LTN 1/20 §6.4.21.

TfL Cycling Infrastructure Database (CID) as OSM format

TfL's CID is a comprehensive and attribute-rich dataset of all cycle infrastructure throughout London. The data is a snapshot in time ranging between January 2017 and May 2018.

This layer shows the CID data converted as an OSM-compatible dataset, matched to geometries and with properties converted.

The conversion script and resulting data are available on Github.

Feature type:

OSM data

For ease of comparison with other data, this layer provides a live feed data from OpenStreetMap, limited to Ways only at present.

OSM data is only shown at zoom 19 or above, to avoid load on the OSM servers. Please enable the layer and zoom in closely.
