Walking and cycling publications

2011

You are here: a guide to developing pedestrian wayfinding (PDF, 744.6 KB, 20 pp.) has been produced to assist local and state government to deliver better pedestrian signage. By supporting people to walk easily between locations, communities can become safer, healthier and more vibrant.

The report Understanding the relationship between cyclists and drivers (PDF, 3.7 MB, 77 pp.) is the result of an investigation into emerging concerns around the ability of cyclists and drivers to share the road. The report found the potential conflict was not a significant issue in the Victorian context.

The department is using this report, in conjunction with VicRoads, to inform our thinking about the development of cycling facilities in future, and to inform investigations into issues around cyclist safety.

The Walking and Cycling International Literature Review (PDF, 3.31 MB, 101 pp.) was commissioned in 2007 by the Department and made available for the purposes of promoting public discussion. The views expressed in the report are those of the authors, and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Department of Transport.
