Safe cycling: Learning lessons among CIVITAS citiesIn order to promote cycling in Ljubljana safety improvement is needed first; it is an absolute priority. But safety relates to many issues and it is not possible to tackle all of them at once, therefore a priority has been determined: to enable cyclists to use safely and at best the existing infrastructures and to solve the most critical points. Moreover, at workshops opened to the public and main stakeholders, it has been pointed out that cars, parked on cycling paths, are the biggest threat to safe cycling and consequently the biggest obstacle to cycling promotion. The CIVITAS MOBILIS team in Ljubljana therefore focused its activities on car-free cycling paths. The workshop was open to all CIVITAS I and II cities and to stakeholders from Ljubljana.
