<p>Decisions on how best to provide for cyclists on local roads are matters for the
local authority – not only do they have a duty to balance the needs of all road users
when considering how to design and manage their road networks, but they also have
a detailed understanding of their roads.</p><p> </p><p>Our guidance in Local Transport
Note 2/08: Cycle Infrastructure Design is comprehensive and allows councils to design
good, safe schemes within current legislation. It already includes most of the measures
highlighted as good practice by, for example, the All Party Parliamentary Cycling
Group, and British Cycling.</p><p> </p><p>Government promotes best practice through
the Cycle Proofing Working Group; an advisory body to the Government on ‘cycle proofing’.
They share knowledge of cycle proofing with those designing and implementing cycle
infrastructure on UK roads through their website:-</p><p>https://www.gov.uk/government/groups/cycle-proofing-working-group</p><p>
