Cycling infrastructure – Angers Loire Métropole

Road improvements dedicated to cycling in the territory of Angers Loire Métropole (outside the municipality of Loire-Authion) * * * * Description of the main fields of the dataset **NAME**: name of spatial object **VELO_TYPE**: type of road layout dedicated to cycling **CIRCULATIO**: type of traffic **CONTR_SENS**: use of bikes with or without a counter-sense **TRON_FONC**: track section function **LENGTH**: length of section in metres **DATE_MAJ**: date of update of the data If the value DATE_MAJ is null, then DATE_MAj = ‘ANTERIOR A 2017’ **SOURCE**: data source * * * * Description of values of VELO_TYPE **Cycle path**: roadway reserved exclusively for two- or three-wheel cycles, isolated from general traffic by a non-crossable separator. **Cycle band**: on a multi-lane roadway, that reserved exclusively for two- or three-wheel cycles and delimited, isolated general traffic by a discontinuous paint line. **Dual-sense cycling**: two-way track with a direction exclusively reserved for the circulation of two- or three-wheel cycles. In other words, a one-way road of car traffic that allows for a cycling counter-sense. **Green road**: road exclusively reserved for the use of non-motorised vehicles, pedestrians and riders. **Bus corridor in the direction of traffic**: open corridor, bounded by a discontinuous line, from which cyclists and buses can go out to double. **Chaucidou**: roadway with gentle circulation, favoring bicycles. Without axial marking whose shorelines are close to its axis, motorised vehicles circulate on a two-way central lane and cyclists on the coated shoulders called banks. The width of the lane open to motor vehicles is insufficient to allow the crossing The latter therefore occasionally cross the shore when they cross, previously checking the absence of cyclists and, failing that, slowing down. **Cycle trajectory**: Marking on the ground of a path recommended for cyclists, serving as a reference for cyclists and other users. **Cycle crossing**: Marking on the ground of a recommended path for cyclists crossing the general traffic. **Pedestrian path**: pavement reserved for the use of pedestrians. **Passerelle**: road structure spanning a roadway for motor use and reserved for the use of gentle modes of travel. **Meeting area**: open area to any mode of travel with priority to pedestrians allowed to travel on the roadway. * * * * Geographical objects have been digitised on orthophotographs and from field surveys.
