Auckland Transport commissioned ViaStrada to investigate some options for providing contraflow cycling on three suburban one-way streets, as well as reviewing the design for another central city contra-flow route. In the absence of current design guidance or practical examples for New Zealand, a “first principles” approach was taken to consider all possible ways to provide for contra-flow cycling on the streets in question.
This paper outlines the process undertaken to develop and assess contra-flow cycling options for Auckland. The paper was presented by Glen Koorey at the 2017 IPENZ Transportation Group Conference, and co-authored by Warren Lloyd (ViaStrada) and Malcolm McAuley (Auckland Transport).
