Rating Guide: Rating Description Example 0 Motorists highly disrespect cyclists which makes cycling impossible 34 1 Motorists drive very close to cyclists or use the horn 35 2 Motorists sometimes yield to cyclists 36 3 Motorist obey traffic rules and sometimes yield to cyclists 37 4 Motorists respect cyclists and give way to them 38 34. https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR3eTbX-07pWyklGHf_1bohHEhj iTORcMjjL3YriPQQBo5jQ3-V 35. http://www.minnpost.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/article_detail/images/articles/ cyclist-motorist-interaction_main.jpg 36. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--yvGN1awef8/UITltkhqteI/AAAAAAAACRQ/Ctqh4UEG2wY/ s1600/Dublin+Non-Mandatory+Bike+Lane+from+Bus.JPG 37. http://www.wired.com/images_blogs/autopia/2010/03/bike-in-traffic.jpg 38. http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/About/General/2012/2/19/1329665987813/ cyclists-traffic-007.jpg 44
Parameter 4: Lighting Description: Since cycles invariably do not have powerful lights like that of motor vehicles, street lighting plays an important role if in cycling beyond light hours. Lighting becomes important for a cyclist’s visibility and to make the cycle visible to other road users. Rating Guide: Rating Description Example 0 No lighting available making it dangerous for cyclists 1 Lighting available but poor 39 2 Lighting available but not at sufficient intervals with few dark spots 40 3 Lighting available but can be better 41 4 Excellent lighting available 42 39. http://assets.dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/lightlane-laser-bike-lane.jpg 40. http://enpundit.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/bicycle-lane-laser-tail-light-1.jpg 41. http://gearjunkie.com/images/9757.jpg 42. http://i1.treklens.com/photos/4499/lonelycyclist.jpg 45
