10 years of cycle highways in Flanders: A look behind the scenes of Flemish cycle highways

20 Jun 2024      10:45 - 11:45       CUBERDON (Orange room)      Panel discussion
Connecting regions, cities and Neighbourhoods
Ten years ago, the five Flemish provinces started realising an ambitious dream: the development of a network of cycle highways to connect all cities in Flanders. In our pursuit of safe and sustainable mobility, cycling is an obvious choice. Cycle highways are quality cycling routes, straightforward, for cycling trips between cities. A backbone to which other cycle connections connect. Together they form a network that covers the whole of Flanders, convincing people to take the bike. What started as a dream evolved into concrete realisations and the roll-out of cycle highways as a real mobility product with its own branding and website. In this session, three speakers from different provinces will take you ‘into the kitchen’ of 10 years of cycle highways in Flanders, the ambition, the challenges, and what the users themselves think of them. Get inspired to get started with cycle highways in your region!
