At a recent Active Travel Design Course we give for the IHE tinyurl.com/28m28wdu we had a delegate from Gibraltar who gave us a tour of what they were doing. Here’s a report page showing curved ‘tramline’ tactile paving laid on a corner to reduce skid risk. Not as per guidance but interesting.
A blue coloured cycle path snales alongside a road. The picture shows a pedestrian zebra crossing both road and cycle path. Tactile paving has been laid where the crossing and cycle path meet to guide visually impaired pedestrians onto the footway rather than the cycle path. Normally the ridges on 'tramline' paving should be straight but here they have cut the slabs and laid it as a curve.

In studies comparing what shopkeepers and their customers want, parking is rated much more highly by shopkepers than customers. Here's a paper, tinyurl.com/nz8we6dd, (albeit American) that shows how parking negatively affects walkability, which as really what the shopkeepers should be wanting.
A graph showing how 'walkable' a car park, a high volume road, a low volume road and a cycle & pedestrian path are. In terms of how attractive a place is for walkability a car park scores 34%, the roads around 70% and a cycle or pedestrian path 100%.

TI is getting started on #BlueSky! For starters, here's the presentation given by our @ibikebrighton.bsky.social at @activetravelcaf.bsky.social last week "If you're looking at a #BikeShare scheme, this must be mandatory viewing" activetravelcafe.org.uk/node/142/ #Bikesky #Urbanism+
"Mark Strong from Transport Initiatives runs us through Bike Share schemes.  Even the seasoned Active Travel professionals that run Active Travel Café (for free) said this was a Tour de Force.  If you're looking at a Bike Share scheme, this must be mandatory viewing"
