For Delhi, while redesigning the road cross section to accomodate bicycle
tracks, we had proposed 3.0m wide lanes. But there was a strong
resistance for few people, who said that we could not have lanes in
urban areas of width less than 3.5m.
I would like to if lanes of 3.0m have been implemented anywhere and what
impact does it have on safety, speed and capacity? How have the codes in
various countries dealt with lane widths? Any repsonse is welcome.
thanks.
