Abstract

The purpose of this report is to provide recommendations to improve the current guidance on cycling and micromobility planning in Austroads’ Guide to Traffic Management (AGTM). This is done by proposing strategic changes to the current guidance based on best practice literature, addressing gaps identified by key stakeholders, and recommending specific changes based on a detailed review of the current AGTM. The overarching recommendations are to:
• Provide stronger links to best practice cycle planning and design principles.
• Recognise that considered terminology can help deliver projects.
• Update the scope of the AGTM to consider wider micromobility options.
These overarching recommendations are accompanied by recommendations that relate to most parts of the AGTM. The report presents the research to support the recommendations.
