City of Paris, France.

Copenhagenize Design Co. was hired by the City of Paris to conduct a study in the context of its upcoming plans for a network of protected cycle tracks, or a cycle highway network, throughout the City. We conducted bicycle counts, profiled cyclists, and analysed seven intersections with our Desire Lines Analysis Tool in order to provide the City with a comprehensive understanding of cycling conditions before turning the main boulevards into a network of safe infrastructure for bicycle users. In addition, we provided the City of Paris with a range of international best practices to manage intersections that will allow their planners to upgrade the current cycling experience in the city.
