State of Bicycling Infrastructure in Indian Cities
This chapter explores the current state of bicycle infrastructure in Tier-I and Tier-II cities from various geographic regions in India. Various infrastructure and facilities including bicycle tracks, intersections, parking facilities, signage, markings, traffic calming measures, services and utilities, and street furniture and landscaping are analysed to understand the various issues, constraints, shortfalls and the need for context-specific infrastructural solutions. Tier-I cities include Pune (Maharashtra), Kolkata (West Bengal) and Chennai (Tamil Nadu) and Tier-II cities include Vijayawada (Andhra Pradesh), Warangal (Andhra Pradesh), Bhubaneshwar (Orissa), Bhilai (Chhattisgarh) and Nashik (Maharashtra). Primary surveys reveal a lack of continuous bicycle network, lack of adherence to design standards, lack of context-specific modifications to a standard design, lack of enforcement of regulations, maintenance issues, etc. that prevents people from using bicycle facilities in urban areas.
