Posted:05/22/2012 Last Modified:08/03/2025 Views:127

The City of Sydney is building a 200km cycle network across the entire City area. The network is designed to improve connections between employment, recreation and residential destinations to make cycling an attractive and safe transport choice.

Improving the public’s ability to move across the city through sustainable transport options like cycling means faster travel for shorter trips, fewer cars on the road, less overcrowding on public transport, better air quality, and improved public health.

The network will consist of various types of cycleways and intersection treatments including:

  • Separated cycleway with parking
  • Separated cycleway without parking
  • Shared Paths
  • Contra-flow cycling access 
  • Contra-flow bike lane with separator
  • Mixed traffic lanes
  • Separated cycleway bend out intersection
