SAFETY
URBAN TRAIL
TRAIL SURFACE
Bitumen
heavily used surface
easily repaired and durable
WIDTH
3m minimum
Associated with line marking
SAFETY
Avoid steep trails near creek lake
Avoid blind corners
Consider access for emergency vehicles
More considerations about bridge. boardwalk and elevated land
LIGHTING
Remove thick vegetation close
SIGNAGE
INTERFACE WITH TRAFFIC
PROVISION OF FACILITIES
Near existed ones
ENVIRONMENTAL
Regular slashing and removal of weeds and revegetation
Monitor of water qualities
CYCLING PATHS
WIDTH
SPACE TO RIDE
SMOOTH SURFACE (TOURING BICYCLE)
SPEED MAINTENANCE (CONTINUOUS RIDING)
CLEAR SIGHT LINES (SMALLER CURVES)

IN AND OUT OF TOWN (SINGLE USE AND SHARED TRAILS & MULTI DIFFICULTY LEVELS)
SAFETY
Alternative to main road
TOURISM (MOUNTAIN BIKING)
BEGINING LEVLE
SHARED TRAIL
TRAIL FOLLOW CONTOUR
Crossfall
Steeper section
less than 20 metres long
less than 50% of the full line gradient
Armour with rocks (minimise water erosion)
GRADE REVERSAL
Every 10-15 min for steep trail
Minimise the need for water diversion device later
Provide recovery section for users
Avoid for excess speed
TRAIL SURFACE
Clear out obstacles on the inside edge
Keep large rounded flat and stable rocks for tread stability
WATER CONTROL
Contour trails
5% out slope (low point)
In slope (turns, high point)
WATERCOURSE CROSSING
Watercourse damage trails. Trails pollute watercourse
Avoid watercourse
Stone armouring
LOWLYING AND BOGGY TERRAIN
Avoid
Boardwalk (Raised reinforced tread)
Geo-textile materials (rubber mats)
Provide drainage
Seperate surface and underlying soil
INTERMEDIATE + ADVANCED LEVEL
SINGLE USE TRAIL
Wooded areas - wide, smooth trails
Artificial surface on existed trails with loose surface or other instabilities
