3. DirectnessThe factors that influence the travel time for cyclists are brought together in the aspect of directness.The following design requirements apply to this: Cyclists travel as short a route as possible and aretaken out of their way as little as possible on major routes. Connections ensure that traffic flows assmoothly as possible and the design speed on main cycle routes is 30 km/h. At intersections withtraffic lights, priority is set in favour of the cycle route.
