6.21 Traffic calming Traffic calming devices can improve cycling conditions in local streets with mixed traffic conditions. A wide variety of devices are used, so accommodating cyclists will depend on the individual characteristics of the devices. For example, cyclist bypasses are generally appropriate where there are: • single-lane devices • road narrowings • devices with abrupt changes in vertical alignment. Bypass facilities can often be constructed using the original carriageway surface. Other measures that may be appropriate are: • path links at road closures • contra-flow lanes or path links at one-way devices. 6.22 Restricted traffic areas Pedestrian needs and comfort are paramount in pedestrian zones and public places where traffic is restricted. In these areas, the desirability of cycling (and any associated provisions) needs to be determined — bearing in mind that it is important to accommodate cyclists whose desire lines pass through a pedestrian area. The common options are: • allowing cyclists and pedestrians to mix freely • providing designated paths for cyclists through the area • allowing a combined use with selected motor vehicles (for example, buses, taxis and service vehicles) • restricting cycling during certain periods • prohibiting cycling in certain places. The most appropriate approach will depend on the situation and the nature and behaviour of both pedestrians and cyclists. Permitted cyclists are guests, and are expected to travel at a speed and in a way that is consistent with a walking space and to yield to pedestrians unless they have their own defined space. Priority should go to information signs and public relations campaigns for the peaceful coexistence of pedestrians and cyclists, with minimal use of signs and line markings.

These are covered in section 3.6.
