Page "Cycling" Paragraph 20

Cyclists, pedestrians and motorists make different demands on road design which may lead to conflicts.

Some jurisdictions give priority to motorized traffic, for example setting up one-way street systems, free-right turns, high capacity roundabouts, and slip roads.

Others may apply traffic restraint measures to limit the impact of motorized transport.

In the former cases, cycling has tended to decline while in the latter it has tended to be maintained.

Occasionally, extreme measures against cycling may occur.

In Shanghai, where bicycles were once the dominant mode of transport, bicycle travel on a few city roads was banned temporarily in December 2003.
