Bicycle Infrastructure Network
This dataset shows existing cycling infrastructure across Metropolitan Melbourne, Geelong, Ballarat and Bendigo. The data has been extracted from OpenStreetMap (OSM) and simplified into high-level categories of cycling infrastructure (see Data Dictionary). The data has been enhanced by the Department of Transport and Planning (DTP) to increase the coverage and detail of cycling infrastructure in these regions. Bus lanes, which typically do allow cycling, have not been included. Note: This dataset includes some informal cycling paths and lanes, and so may differ from documents showing strategic or official cycling networks. While measures have been taken to ensure accuracy of the dataset, errors may remain. *The dataset is released under the Open Database License (ODbL)

The distinguishing feature from a parking-only lane is the presence of bicycle signage or painted surface pictograms; Intermittent/informal (on-road): These are non-exclusive or informal bicycle markings, typically represented by intermittent pictograms alongside several dashed painted lines, although sometimes they appear without dashed lines at all. These are usually painted against the kerb, minimising their footprint on the traffic lane; Shared lane (sharrows): Painted sharrows (or \u201cshared arrows\u201d) often prominently situated in the middle of the road or traffic lane to indicate that cars and bike riders share the road \u2013 these symbols may also in some cases indicate a designated local cycling or \u201cshimmy\u201d route; Shared use path (off-road): Off-road path fully shared with pedestrians \u2013 often explicitly designated using shared path surface markings or signage; Separated path (off-road): Off-road bike infrastructure that is separated from pedestrians, either physically or by a painted line or different colouration", "fixed_values": "Protected bike lane (on-road), Basic painted lane, Buffered painted lane, Shared bike/parking lane, Intermittent/informal (on-road), Shared street (sharrows), Shared use path (off-road), Separated path (off-road)", "id": "11497", "name": "Cycling infrastructure type", "ref_number": "AT-11497"}, {"attribute_display_order_id": 3, "db_format": "STRING()", "db_name": "Name", "definition": "OSM road or path name", "fixed_values": "", "id": "11498", "name": "Road name", "ref_number": "AT-11498"}, {"attribute_display_order_id": 4, "db_format": "STRING()", "db_name": "HwyType", "definition": "OSM road or path category", "fixed_values": "", "id": "11499", "name": "Road category", "ref_number": "AT-11499"}, {"attribute_display_order_id": 5, "db_format": "FLOAT()", "db_name": "Width", "definition": "Width of the bike lane/path (in metres)", "fixed_values": "", "id": "11500", "name": "Infrastructure width", "ref_number": "AT-11500"}, {"attribute_display_order_id": 6, "db_format": "", "db_name": "AdjFeatures", "definition": "Contextual traffic features adjacent to the cycling infrastructure | Parking: Car parking is adjacent to an on-road bike lane; Left-side traffic: There are adjacent vehicular traffic lanes on both sides of the bike lane \u2013 usually involving a left-turning lane and a crossing point for cars; Tram line: A tram line is adjacent to the on-road bike lane", "fixed_values": "Parking, Left-side traffic, Tram line", "id": "11501", "name": "Adjacent features", "ref_number": "AT-11501"}, {"attribute_display_order_id": 7, "db_format": "STRING()", "db_name": "DirRelToWay", "definition": "Direction of bicycle travel relative to OSM way direction", "fixed_values": "Forward, Reverse, Both", "id": "11502", "name": "Direction relative to way", "ref_number": "AT-11502"}, {"attribute_display_order_id": 8, "db_format": "STRING()", "db_name": "DirCardinal", "definition": "Cardinal direction of bicycle travel", "fixed_values": "Northbound, Southbound, Eastbound, Westbound, North-Eastbound, North-Westbound, South-Eastbound, South-Westbound, North-South, East-West, NE-SW, NW-SE", "id": "11503", "name": "Cardinal Direction", "ref_number": "AT-11503"}] |
