In this part of the Netherlands, at least, 2.5 m is the minimum for single direction paths and 4 m for bidirectional paths. The pedestrian bit is in addition to this.David Hembrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14543024940730663645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3102538965694240940.post-7145473673564612672009-08-25T07:43:16.653+02:002009-08-25T07:43:16.653+02:00John, the cycle path is one way.
