Most journeys begin or end with a walk – and for many short journeys it is a quick and simple way of getting around. Cycling is an efficient and healthy option, but depends on the provision of good, safe routes and facilities for cyclists.
Nestrans supports improved facilities for cyclists and has invested over £500,000 from its capital programme to implement strategic cycle routes from Aberdeenshire into Aberdeen and across the City.
Pedestrian improvements have included the installation of more pedestrian crossings and footpaths.
With funding from the Scottish Executive, 20 mph school safety zones are being rolled out across the north east – reducing traffic speeds around schools. Home zones have also been introduced in some residential areas to create a more pedestrian-friendly environment.
