Definition
The ratio of segregated cycling infrastructure to main roads is an indicator of road coverage by cycling infrastructure. The segregated infrastructure considered includes: cycle tracks, cycle and pedestrian tracks and cycle lanes. The main roads include motorway, trunk, primary, secondary, tertiary, motorway link, trunk link, primary link, secondary link and tertiary link from the OSM classification.

The ratio is an estimate of completeness of the cycle network. On main roads it is usually unsafe to mix cyclists and motorised vehicles in the same space, so we need about as much segregated infrastructure as there are main roads. 

The bar chart illustrates the 20 countries with the highest ratios of segregated cycle infrastructure to main roads. Each colour represents the share of different infrastructure types. By hovering the cursor over the chart, additional information is displayed.
 

The map is coloured to represent the magnitude of the metric of interest. By hovering the cursor over the area of interest, the tooltip will display the main metrics. Similarly, the size of the dots is proportional to the length of cycle infrastructure. By clicking on the circles, a bar plot with the types of analysed infrastructure types will be displayed along with a link to explore the details.
