The F3 cycle highway connects Leuven with Brussels, most of the time following service roads built as a part of a TEN-T railway upgrade. But several investments have been necessary to fix gaps resulting from missed opportunities. The most...
On the 24th and 25th of May the fourth edition of the Cycle Highway Academy series was organised in the sunny city of Copenhagen, home to the widely known Cykelsuperstier network. The main topic of the fourth Cycle Highway Academy, organised by the...
Instead of cutting trees to widen carriageway, an old car connection between Nijmegen and Beuningen was turned into a cycle path. Now this tree-lined avenue is a particularly scenic section of cycle highway Batavierenpad Zuid. Beuningen is a...

Road markings play an important part in cycle highway’s readability and safety. They help the cyclists to follow the route, especially in poor visibility conditions, improve the recognisability of cycle infrastructure for other users, and can also...
In our series of articles showcasing infrastructure of cycle highways we return once more to RijnWaalpad, to examine “het Groentje”. The bridge was incorporated last minute into the design of Nijmegen ring road to avoid interruptions and delays for...
Continuing our journey on RijnWaalpad, the cycle highway from Arnhem to Nijmegen, we arrive to Snelbinder – a two-kilometre long bicycle bridge, used by 6000 cyclists daily. It is interesting both as an engineering accomplishment and from the urban...
Where cycle highways meet busier roads, crossings are often grade-separated to maximise safety and minimise the need of stopping. We revisit RijnWaalpad to see how to design safe, comfortable and attractive bicycle tunnels. Bicycle tunnels...
