Rediweld slims down cycle lane separators

Rediweld has introduced a new narrower version of its surface-mounted Orca cycle lane separator called the Orca Kerb which is only 150mm wide rather than 200mm as in the original unit. On the cycle side of the 100mm high Orca Kerb is a splayed face to guide a cycle tyre back into the lane rather than tripping the cyclists, while on the traffic side is a vertical half-battered face to deter vehicles crossing into the cycle lane.

8153 Rediweld has introduced a new narrower version of its surface-mounted Orca cycle lane separator called the Orca Kerb which is only 150mm wide rather than 200mm as in the original unit.

On the cycle side of the 100mm high Orca Kerb is a splayed face to guide a cycle tyre back into the lane rather than tripping the cyclists, while on the traffic side is a vertical half-battered face to deter vehicles crossing into the cycle lane. Also unlike the original, the recycled rubber Orca Kerb comes in lengths of up to 1m allowing intermittent or continuous segregation of cycle lanes.

    Antaira Technologies’ marketing engineer Brian Roth explains why the increasing capacity of wireless bridges is reducing the cost of expanding and upgrading ITS networks. With more than half of the world’s population now living in cities, the need for efficient transportation of both people and goods has never been greater and that pressure is unlikely to ease any time soon. Indeed in many regions of the world the rate of urbanisation is still increasing as the demand for rural workers continues to decline.

    David Crawford considers the increased interest in bus rapid transit and looks that the latest trends. Bus rapid transit (BRT) is gaining an increasingly high profile in the US public transport agenda, for two main reasons. One is the potential for ‘trains on wheels’ to save substantially on installation costs as compared with other modes such as underground metros or light-rail transit. Another, highlighted in the case of New York City, is the value of having a rapid surface-based alternative available whe

    The use of alcohol interlocks to prevent drink driving and change driver behaviour is gaining ground around the world but needs greater buy-in from authorities as Colin Sowman discovers. The often repeated mantra says that prevention is better than cure - and none more so than in the case of drink-driving. The introduction of the breathalyser provided an objective indication of alcohol consumption instead of having drivers touch their nose or walk in a straight line. Initially breathalysers were used as a r

  • Managed lanes – the riddle wrapped up in an enigma
    December 15, 2014
    Managed lanes have something of a patchy track record and can pose authorities problems as well as solutions. Many authorities in the US and beyond have converted, or are converting, parts of the highway network into ‘Managed Lanes’ and charging motorists a fee to avoid the delays on the adjoining free use lanes. Some authorities have converted underused High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes into priced-managed high occupancy/toll lanes (HOT lanes) whereby the price charged can vary depending on a number of fa
