Information sheet on the Milton Keynes Redway System - the background, safety and suitability of the system by the Milton Keynes Cycle Users Group

Article on the Redways by John Franklin - published recently in the journal "Traffic Engineering Control"

One of our old BUG members, John Franklin, now left the OU and Milton Keynes, has recently published an article in 'Traffic Engineering & Control' entitled 'Two Decades of the Redway cycle paths in Milton Keynes'. The article proposes that the Redway system is not the most perfect scenario for demonstrating how cycle facilities can remove the deterrents to cycling and achieve big gains in safety. The suggestion is that they are less safe than the roads and inhibit the skills acquistion that is essential to cycling safely and more widely.

It can be found on the Web at ;

John, the author of "Cyclecraft' a handbook for cyclists published by HMSO, is also presently chair of CCN (Cycle Campaign Network) a federation of cycling groups in the UK.
