12 Main cycling facilities 12

13 Main cycling facilities The layout of the main network has an objective to secure the movement of cyclists and to ensure good traffic conditions, especially on the most circulated streets of the city: bilateral paths or bidirectional cycling facilities. Crossing the Seine will also be facilitated and made possible : 13

15 Exemple of the main network 15

16 Calmed traffic zones 30 km/h Paris program Various zones are expected to switch to 30 km/hour to improve the different users of public space coexisting, and the creation of two-way cycle lanes in the one-way streets in 30 km/hour is planned. 16

17 The woods The woods will also be equipped in order to create new walking paths that will be connected to the cycling networks of paris and the neighbouring districts. Several configurations are possible : Creation of dedicated cycle paths Creation of green routes Closing some roads to traffic A signposting system must be installed in order to create cycle tourism routes. 17

18 Parking Surface parking supply Adapting the parking spaces : Densification by offering more numerous areas for a better coverage of the territory Identification of areas whose supply is currently insufficient By collaborative projects (data challenge, crowdsourcing...) - Serving attractive places ( museums, libraries, cultural and sporting centres or shopping streets...) 18

19 Parking Secure parking supply In the licensed car parks Enhancement of the parking spaces Creation of a shared subscription to allow access to this secure parking network In available spaces of social housing (particularly in car parks) In condominiums (by incentive grants) In public areas, by introduction of stalls with a dozen spaces 19

20 Parking Intermodality Developp secure parking supply in all train stations and near main metro stations First bicycle stations in the major Paris train stations by reusing underground tunnels. 20
