Shanghai to improve Bicycle and Pedestrian Network

Shanghai announced plans to create a non-motorized traffic network in downtown areas over the next five years. Cycleways and bike lanes and connections with sideroads will be improved, along with areas for Parking facilities for non-motorized vehicles at Metro and bus stations. Public bicycle renting facilities will be rolled out following trials in the districts of Baoshan, Zhabei and the Pudong New Area. At the end of last year, Shanghai had 10.67 million registered bicycles.

To improve the safety of pedestrians and cyclists, dozens of non-motorized “islands” will be created in the city. Connections between islands, footpaths and roads will improved.
