Contributor Wegman, F.C.M. (mentor) Faculty Civil Engineering and Geosciences Department Transport & Planning Programme Traffic Safety Date 2013-07-10 Abstract In this thesis, the traffic safety of existing bicycle streets in the Netherlands has been studied. In a literature study, an overview of the research so far has been presented. Empirical research based on observations and traffic counts shows the actual use of eight bicycle streets in the Netherlands. The outcomes were used to test bicycle streets to the principles of Sustainable Safety. This test was the base for design improvements of bicycle streets. The most important improvements are the choice for one standard design to improve the recognisability and predictability and the application of a narrow profile and speed bumps to reduce the speeds of motor vehicles on the bicycle street.
