Drive-way for bicycles
Whether the climate of awareness of the problem of high oil prices, I believe that the contribution of the last factor has been more than a factor of motivation (local) governments to take action.
For four years I lived in Spain I hear on the local government initiatives to minor changes in the road infrastructure: a minimal gesture, not without strategic impact: a special drive sense of bicycles. Four years were needed to widerstandsunfähig on this issue. The debate is not easy: there is no space.
But that is the idea of a strategic change. If you want to receive cars in the centre of cities, an initiative to posting in the area for bicycles and engines only to a big change, which is more than just awareness.
In the south of Spain, it should not be difficult to find some next steps. The sun shines most days of the solar and Computer-Aided vehicles soon become a reality in May (May help hot on the day to prevent, the drivers sweating in the office). All energy of vehicles on the streets dedicated bicycle …
More bicycles also means a healthy society, more exercises, showers at work … In fact, a complete various infrastructure know that before. But we will all this aside, we are with the special drive for bicycles and the signals motorists out of the way, because this change is only the beginning.
BTW: a separate routes for cyclists is no longer a question of security is a change of priority in the city. More space for bicycles, less space for the cars so that they slowly to drive, a sense more economic use of fuel, etc.
