Navigation and wayfinding <\/h1>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A cycle superhighway should provide a high level of route information and guidance for users along the routes. Navigation and wayfinding on cycle superhighways is focused on the physical and permanent communication of the route, in forms of signage and pavement markings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Route information should be visible and intuitive for cyclists throughout the entire route. A shared set of standards for navigation therefore aims to ensure coherency on the routes and contribute to a consistent cycling experience for all users, making it both easy and accessible to follow a cycle superhighway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cycle Superhighway Logo (V 62) is used as the primary indicator of a cycle superhighway and is applied in combination with other forms of signage and markings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The V 62 Logo has been approved as a pavement marking by the Danish Ministry of Traffic1<\/a><\/sup>Transportministeriet: Bekendtg\u00f8relse om anvendelse af vejafm\u00e6rkning \u00a7213, (BEK nr 2511 af 09\/12\/2021).

The logo also appears as route identification for a cycle superhighway (L 46) in Bekendtg\u00f8relsen om vejafm\u00e6rkning \u00a744 2<\/a><\/sup>Transportministeriet: Bekendtg\u00f8relse om vejafm\u00e6rkning \u00a744, (BEK nr 425 af 13\/04\/2023)<\/a>.

Principles for navigation and wayfinding <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Route navigation and wayfinding on cycle superhighways follows two main principles:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\n

Consistency across administrative borders <\/i><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
\n

Navigation and wayfinding should be consistent and uniform across municipal borders. This is done by using the orange Cycle Superhighway Logo and implementing identical signage and markings throughout the entire route.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Visible route information <\/i><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Route information in the form of signage and pavement markings should be placed so they are visible for cyclists and it is intuitive for cyclists to navigate on the cycle superhighway.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Navigation on the route<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

It is essenital to have consistent route information throughout the whole cycle superhighway route course. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A cycle superhighway is identified with the Cycle Superhighway Logo along with a route number and a route name, which consists as the primary route indicators. These are typically marked on road sign panels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prepare an overall plan for navigation and wayfinding on cycle superhighways<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a good idea to prepare an overall plan for navigation and wayfinding for the entire cycle superhighway route, to ensure consistent route information along the route, and coherency across the municipal borders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An overall navigation plan can provide an overview of the types of signage that are needed, where to place them, which distant and near targets to link to, as well as the placements of pavement markings. It further provides an overview of the implementation areas, which is relevant to hand over to the suppliers and contractors in charge of the physical implementation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Follow the principles for navigation and wayfinding when preparing the overall plan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Identify and choose distant and near target locations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To ensure proper navigation and wayfinding on the cycle superhigways, distant and near locations need to be identified and chosen as targets. A premise for selecting af location as a target is that the route passes the specific location. When a target has been selected, it is important to use the targets on the signage all the way to the target location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Distant targets <\/strong><\/em>are beginning and end points for a route – for example the name of a city, a city center, the name of an urban area or location or a station. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
