Question 1

Q3. What are low-cost solutions that can be used for testing the pilot interventions?

Accepted Answer

Guidance on detailed design recommendations, materials, and supporting interventions will be shared in Workshop 3. The date for Workshop 3 will be shared with cities shortly.

Question 2

Q2. What are the provisions to be considered as safety measures for cyclists?

Accepted Answer

On large streets, where there might be a significant speed difference between motor vehicles, it is important to have segregated cycle tracks. However, the cycle track should be continuous, the road surface should be of high quality, and shade should be provided through trees or temporary coverings. Frequent road crossings for pedestrians and cyclists should be provided, preferably at intervals of 200m.

Question 3

Q1. How can cycling interventions be planned on narrow streets?

Accepted Answer

Narrow streets most likely will not have space for segregated cycle tracks. Instead, cities should reduce the speed on these streets through traffic calming measures. Cities can also strategically close off certain sections of the neighbourhood to motor vehicles and make these streets accessible to pedestrians and cyclists only. The streets can be permanently closed or through time/day based closures. Low-cost materials like barricades can be used for these interventions.

Question 4

Q1. How long should the perception survey be conducted for?

Accepted Answer

Many cities rolled out the survey at the beginning of August and we encourage them to extend it until the end of the month. Cities should think of innovative ways to get responses from different sections of society, including those who might not have access to mobile phones and online applications. This will help in getting a uniform and fair sample of the respondents to better inform the interventions.

Question 5

Q4. Would cycle routes as part of proposals that have been tendered by cities be considered as a pilot to apply for this challenge?

Accepted Answer

The intent of the challenge is to TEST-LEARN-SCALE essential cycling interventions through quick, low-cost and effective means, and community engagement. Already conceived projects at the design stage can be considered, but already tendered projects that do not align with the timeline and requirements stated in the Challenge brief, will not be considered. If the city has planned a DPR for 10km and has tendered for 5km, the rest 5 km can be considered for the challenge if it addresses the timeline and requirements stated in the Challenge brief. If the city has already conceptualised projects for quick pop-up cycle infrastructure that aligns with the requirements stated in the Challenge brief, it can be considered. Kindly note, cycling interventions already implemented prior to the Challenge announcement will not be considered.
