ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Segregated cycle facilities

Okay kiddo, let me explain about segregated cycle facilities. So, you know how sometimes when you ride your bike on the road, it can be a little scary with all the big cars and trucks driving past you? Well, segregated cycle facilities are specially designed spaces on the road that are just for people riding bikes. These spaces are usually separated from the rest of the road with things like curbs, planters, or even bollards.

So, imagine you are riding your bike and you have your very own special bike lane that is separated from the cars and trucks by a barrier. You don't have to worry about the cars driving too close to you or feeling nervous about turning left or right because you have your own safe space. It's kind of like having your own special magic castle to ride in, where only bicycles are allowed.

Segregated cycle facilities are also great because they make it easier and safer for people to ride their bikes to school, work, or just for fun. They can help reduce traffic congestion and air pollution, and make our cities happier and healthier places to be. So, let's all pedal our way to a more bike-friendly world!
