Evaluating and monitoring

Evaluating and monitoring cycle routes and networks is key to meeting the needs of the customers, understanding the type and volumes of users of the facility and tracking usage over time.

The following features can be monitored:

• cycleCycle throughput (including modal share)
• physicalPhysical works programmes
• cycleCycle crashes
• satisfactionSatisfaction levels regarding cycle facilities
• cycleCycle facilities' condition
• cycleCycle network implementation
• levelLevel of service improvements.improvements

These aspects are described in more detail in the planning section of the CNG.

The national monitoring and reporting requirements for the Urban Cycleways Programme (UCP) projects includes best-practicebest practice methodologies for measuring the success of new cycle infrastructure as well as wider network monitoring.
