- W340795367 abstract "Guadalajara, Mexico has historically been known as a town. Since its peak in the 1920?s, however, the number of cyclists in Guadalajara has been in decline. This article describes how cycling may be resurging in popularity. Currently, Guadalajara is a long way from being a safe, comfortable, and easily accessible city. Drivers generally do not yield to bicyclists and pedestrians, and they often ignore signs and lane markings. The majority of bicyclists cannot afford a car, and cycling has been equated as a lower-class activity. Despite these challenges, Guadalajara boasts 212,000 daily cycle trips, or about 3.5 % of all trips made using a vehicle. Safe cycle-routes could increase bicycle use from 3.5 % to 7 %. To shift the perception of cycling, nearly 60 km of roadways are closed to cars every Sunday and open to cyclists, pedestrians, rollerbladers, joggers, and skateboarders. As many as 120,000 people participate in the event. Biking also enjoys a high level of support from local and state government officials, who are working to develop a world-class cycle network. The city has announced plans for a 367 km bicycle network that should help transform Guadalajara into a truly bicycle friendly city. Through extensive public involvement and community outreach, two main needs were identified: those of new users who prefer segregated lanes that protect them from cars; and those of advanced cyclists who prefer directness and speed. To meet both of these needs, a dual system design was used where cyclists are protected from the motor vehicles with a row of parked cars, but can easily navigate out of the bike facility to integrate with motor vehicles in the street. The project went out to construction quickly, with final construction details being determined in the field by a diverse stakeholder group." @default.
