This is Copenhagen
population 1.2 million Bikes are everywhere
buses a full, there is a new Metro line under construction
and the focus is on creating quality urban life
Pedestrianisation in the city centre began in the 1960s
when in reaction to growing traffic congestion the main street simply closed
off to cuss
this now forms the core a huge network
pedestrian streets which is popular with the public and include the most
desirable shopping destinations
the pedestrian areas have demonstrated the possibilities in quality at that
unless
when cuss a deep fryer touched so what we'll do
is don't have a look at how cycling in public transport
have been able people to leave their cars behind now of course
bikes are incredibly popular here Jenny to work for by
is right up to 36 percent car 29
PT 28 and walk said to use an idea of cycle traffic volumes
discounter shows three hundred and two thousand inbound bicycles this year
not bad February so let's calibrate estate here
then head off to never forget another the main by
cargoes heading out of the city teeth
the
the
the
a Lord
the board
there
boom
them nice to see people enjoying the winter sunshine on the bridge there
mainly it's like this one have what's called a greenway
which means the signals a face to about 20 kilometres per hour
which is fairly comfortable riding state to try to catch as many grains as we can
you can see over here to use Island bus stops
which means waiting or lighting passengers don't obstruct the biplane
letting the bike traffic plus miss lee the street uses the Copenhagen style
bike lane
which has a double cab construction with Huff kid
up to a raised by plane which is in slightly camp it down
to allow for a second kid up to the footpaths this provides complete
separation and safety
for cyclists and pedestrians a blue line marking provides extra visibility it
into sections
on the left ear you can see a red bus only section
which was implemented three years ago effectively closing the street to
through traffic biker
and reducing bus travel times by 10 percent
so what in the middle of the afternoon
eighty you can really get a feel for her plantains a
with Evelyn noise the afternoon traffic the
this route is Paris aplus.net
which includes a new standard for these fantastic three made a white black lines
equivalent to three bike which this enables
what they call conversation cycling which means to people can write
holding a comfortable conversation uninterrupted by
said person passing no tripp Lite's
I'm not sure it here then in a dispersed city like melted
looking at my share we see that blacks retain that dominance
out to be on 210 kilometers so while most chip links
I short even for longer trips people are still choosing to cycle
another reason for the three line bike paths
is to accommodate cutbacks which is now owned by
28 percent to child families there's
now in place now than and Copenhagen
such as the cells actually prepared to travel similar distances
with one-third by trips over five kilometres him but it's it's
and in Melbourne half a bowl trips a less than five kilometres
just imagine how melman look with even higher
copenhagen's by my chair trips up to 5kg
its T the safety data shows
as car drivers learn to anticipate passing bicycles
accident rates have fallen the
do
the annual user satisfaction said a shows ninety-five percent satisfaction
with Copenhagen is a cycling city which afflicts
decades infrastructure investment here however as bicycle traffic grows
there's always a nation President here you can see it but idk routing
as the line there is down to allow for less than ten day
the
do up ahead is what are the Metra station construction sites
at building a good underground metro line
to add to the existing to care at least 10 such sites dotted around the inner
city
all and actual construction recognizable
but a distinctive green Orleans and on the flyover ahead is a passing train
with black by carriage in the middle which is fitted with bike racks
sure 20 bikes the
the nor brute get a
is also a major bus cargo serviced by one
high-frequency a rich there is a bus
every three minutes or so and a quite full and have balanced leads in both
directions
so we coming to the entire outer
which is averaged about 18 kilometers per hour
it is very relaxed pace from experience in Melbourne
cyclists late to work much harder and more dangerous conditions
to achieve that kinda average state and that seems to be the lesson here
people being invited to cyclin safety
comfort and convenience and a grateful
for the opportunity
so fittingly at this red light welcomed
by a convenient for crest which also doubles as a route map
easy then you go bike City Hyatt butts
which I bet repel extra range that being pitched as a coverage extended to the
PTA system
and they've got a GPS unit which lets you research that like it had
waiting at the train station well use it as a Mac interactive tourist info
and he is another example of a controlled to hit the cyclists
its separate lanes and many signals first right all right hand turns
decides to flash
infrastructure their Constance more than low cost improvements to the cycling
experience all over the network
tending to the PTA system
bus services frequent an extensive and there's a
evident change a train stations as whistle
the metric project is under construction the excavated
day is being brought up the edge of the city where land reclamation project is
creating the city's
strategic thats now to finish a
let's have a look at the lecture but this one
at the 2002 struggles
and dance 24/7 the Metro is frequent timid
it was during the day once
small 3 cassettes and of course
outside the Peets by schools or less
let's jump on the TV HBU highness
