	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/01/2015 answer text <p>In August 2013 the Prime Minister announced his intention to &quot;cycle proof&quot; the road network - in other words, to ensure that people using cycles are considered from the design stage of new and improved road infrastructure. Cycle proofing is a process which over time ensures that the built environment generally, and roads specifically, are seen to be safe, convenient and pleasant for cycle use by people of all ages and abilities.</p><p>Work to cycle proof roads has already begun. The Highways Agency has recently published its Strategic Business Plan[1] which sets out how they will improve facilities for people cycling or walking alongside the strategic road network. Designated funding has been allocated to make provision for vulnerable users when designing and building major schemes and where feasible make it safer and easier for cyclists and pedestrians to access local routes when crossing the strategic road network. For cyclists the Agency will:</p><p>· Invest £100m to improve access, integration and facilities on and around the network;</p><p>· Undertake studies at 600 sites identified in conjunction with Sustrans and the National Cycling Charity to decide the best potential solution for each location;</p><p>· Provide additional professional development training for those engineers and planners responsible for designing schemes to include appropriate cycling provision;</p><p>· Produce its first National Cycling Strategy by the end of 2015.</p><p> </p><p>All contracts on the Agency’s network use the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges[2] (DMRB) for the design of works and the Manual of Contract Documents for Highway Works[3] as the specification. The DMRB incorporates requirements, processes and procedures to ensure that the needs of vulnerable road users are considered and included at scheme design stage.</p><p> </p><p>The Department is currently finalising the Cycling Delivery Plan. Several actions outlined in that Plan will contribute further to this cycle proofing work. The Department will seek to ensure roads projects that receive government funding, as well as those conducted by local authorities, are cycle proofed. This means that the needs of people using cycles are considered from the design stage.</p><p> </p><p>The Department is also working to ensure Highways engineers have evidence based tools with which to design high quality conditions for cycling on England's roads. This includes updating the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions, and – where suitable and appropriate - endorsing the use of new standards and guidance produced by other authorities in the UK.</p><p> </p><p>We do of course consider the needs of all users of public transport, including cyclists, at railway stations. That is why we have allocated almost £30 million for cycling facilities and we are on track to triple the number of cycle parking spaces at railway stations.</p><p> </p><br /><p><sup><sup>[1]</sup></sup> <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/387252/141215_Strategic_business_plan.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/387252/141215_Strategic_business_plan.pdf</a></p><p> </p><p><sup><sup>[2]</sup></sup> <a href="http://www.standardsforhighways.co.uk/dmrb/" target="_blank">http://www.standardsforhighways.co.uk/dmrb/</a></p><p> </p><p><sup><sup>[3]</sup></sup> <a href="http://www.standardsforhighways.co.uk/mchw/" target="_blank">http://www.standardsforhighways.co.uk/mchw/</a></p><p> </p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 19/01/2015 16:36:36 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill
