CHAPTER 2 THE PLANNING AND<br />
POLICY CONTEXT<br />
• Law, <strong>guide</strong>lines, strategies<br />
• National <strong>and</strong> regional transport<br />
strategies<br />
• Local authority responsibilities<br />
• Cycling strategic plans — why,<br />
what, how?<br />
THE PLANNING<br />
AND POLICY CONTEXT<br />
<strong>Cycle</strong> <strong>network</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>route</strong> <strong>planning</strong> takes part within<br />
a legal, transport, social <strong>and</strong> administrative context<br />
— <strong>and</strong> can’t take place in isolation from it.<br />
Those <strong>planning</strong> for cycling need to underst<strong>and</strong><br />
transport <strong>and</strong> the law affecting it, plus the variety of<br />
government roles, policies <strong>and</strong> strategies at national,<br />
regional <strong>and</strong> local levels.<br />
This section outlines this larger context, <strong>and</strong> then<br />
discusses cycling strategic plans — why we have<br />
them, what they should contain, <strong>and</strong> how they fit<br />
with the bigger picture. <strong>Cycle</strong> <strong>network</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>route</strong><br />
<strong>planning</strong> is only one part, alongside others, of<br />
preparing a cycling strategic plan.
