Keskustan pyöräverkko 2025

The main network plan for the inner city aims to meet the needs of the increasing bicycle traffic and points the way to the development of the bicycle traffic infrastructure. The aim is to make cycling easier and safer, so that the city’s targets for more and safer cycling can be met.

The main network plan shows the main routes needed for bicycle traffic in the 2025 situation. The main routes form the backbone of the cycle network, which is complemented by other cycle routes and connections. The plan specifies indicative one-way and two-way cycle traffic arrangements as well as mixed traffic arrangements where cyclists share the same space with other vehicles. In other respects, the quality of the traffic arrangements has not been taken a stand on; the plans will be specified on a case-by-case basis.

With the help of common international quality criteria, the following quality objectives have been set for the target cycling network: safety, straightness, ease of use and pleasantness.
