 Cycling - everybody does it in Ferrara
BYPAD Modul: Bicycle policy on paper Ferrara   (Italy)
Absolutely flat land helps and a refusal of all forms of change that might upset ancient and reassuring habits. The people of Ferrara have been using bicycles since the dawn of time.

Implementation



“Traditional bicycle traffic seemed completely new to the traffic engineers, there were no hi-tech bike boxes, or induction strips under the cycle lanes that activated traffic lights for cyclists. Instead there was medieval paving along which people moved slowly and comfortably. To really weigh up what was happening they had to adjust to the slow pace of the town in order to take it all in.”
