Melbourne's Principal Bicycle Network (AUS)
The Principal Bicycle Network (PBN) is a network of cycle routes that provide access to key destinations within the Melbourne metropolitan area. The PBN is one of a number of cycling networks that make up the cycling infrastructure of metropolitan Melbourne. The PBN is currently under review and the network will change substantially. Completion of the review is anticipated in mid-2011, and the website updated soon after.
The new PBN will differ from the original PBN in a number of key ways:
- more ‘destination-focused’, connecting activity centres, Central Activity Districts and the CBD to their cycling catchments
- design principle of maximising separation between cyclists and motorists, as well as other priority treatments
- increased use of local roads
- increased use of off-road paths
- designation of two levels of route development – ‘PBN Priority Routes’ and ‘PBN Support Routes’
- Priority routes will be pro-actively developed by VicRoads
- Support routes will be developed opportunistically through other major road projects such as road or intersection upgrades.
