In this report the situation for cyclists on 2+1-roads is analysed and studied. These

roads are often the old 13-meter roads that have been changed into 2+1 to increase

the security. Two road sections outside Motala in Sweden has been deep studied

and analysed. The different parts in the planning process show how the progress

goes. To begin with the change should be within the old 13 meters but after the

pilot study was circulated for comments the result became a broadening to 13,75

and 14,00 meters. These new broadth gave a wider roadside and a safer situation

for cyclists.

The reconstruction outside Motala is an unusual solution since broadthening of

the road area rarely is done. The biggest reason to this broadthening is probably

the cycle races Vätternrundan and Tjejvättern and all the practice that takes place

before these events. The township of Motala wants to promote cycling in their

municipality. This whish where probably an important factor during the

commenting period.

The rapport also analyses different control documents used in the planning

process. These are VGU (Vägar och Gator Utformning) and Inriktningsdokument

för 13-metersvägar inom Vägverket Region Sydöst.
