This webpage provides data on the spatial location and before/after street images of certain one-way road segments where contraflow cycling was implemented to help the qualitative assessment of these roads. Success is defined as an increase in cycling volume after contraflow cycling was introduced. Below is a list of the streets examined. Please click on the links below to access maps and images of the streets.

On each individual road page, there is a map and images of that road. The road is identified as a blue pin on a map. The maps also show national, regional and local cycle routes via the OpenCycleMap layer of OpenStreetMap. These are labelled as LCN (London Cycle Network) or C27, for example which means Cycleway 27.

Before and after Google Street View images are shown for the start and end of the contraflow section. The viewer can zoom in and out and travel along the infrastructure by clicking on the Google Street View images. Whilst this seems to work most of the time, there are periods when it seems to hit bugs and may produce images from incorrect time points (e.g. showing bidirectional motor vehicles when it is meant to be a one-way street) or the images will not load.

If either the map or images seem to have hit a bug then please refresh the page.

Existing one-way streets where contraflow cycling was introduced

Successful contraflow implementations

These three roads had considerable increases in contraflow cycling trips and people after the introduction of contraflow cycling. They roads had low levels of illegal contraflow cycling prior to implementation.

  1. Clarence Terrace

  2. Melcombe Street

  3. Roehampton High Street

Unsuccessful contraflow implementations

These three streets experienced a fall in mean contraflow counts after contraflow implementation with the last two having observed counts lower than expected.

  1. Hammersmith Grove

  2. Saltram Crescent (a)

  3. Meymott Street

Two-way streets converted to one-way with contraflow cycling

Successful contraflow implementations

These three roads had an increase in contraflow cycling trips and people after implementation.

  1. Tanner Street

  2. Old Jamaica Road

  3. Ivor Place

Unsuccessful contraflow implementations

These two roads had decreases in contraflow cycling after contraflow implementation.

  1. Harrowby Street

  2. Burwood Place
