Definition
The ratio of contraflow cycling is the ratio of local one-way streets with contraflow cycling allowed to the total length of local one-way streets. 

Contraflow cycling is a low-cost measure promoting cycling and increasing safety. It allows more direct cycle trips and enables cyclists to avoid dangerous main roads and intersections. The contraflow cycling ratio can be considered a measure of cycle-friendliness of traffic management in the area. 

The bar chart illustrates the 20 countries with the highest ratio of contraflow cycling. By hovering the cursor over the chart, additional information is displayed.
 

The map presents the ratio of local one-way streets with contraflow cycling allowed to the total length of local one-way streets. Areas are coloured in line with the ranging values of the ratio.
