This week’s Good Cycling Facilty is a newly-surfaced cycle path, with a noise barrier, alongside a main road in the outskirts of the Dutch city of Gouda.
The path is smooth and wide. It runs next to a fast road, so a noise barrier (composed of thick glass) has been installed to minimise noise disruption from motor traffic as people cycle along the path. A minor detail that makes a big difference to the comfort and attractiveness of these kinds of paths.
