Kergliiklusteevõrku

Kergliiklusteevõrku refers to the network of paths and roads designated for light traffic in Estonia. This includes infrastructure such as bicycle lanes, pedestrian walkways, and shared paths that are intended for non-motorized transportation. The primary purpose of developing a kergliiklusteevõrku is to promote sustainable mobility, encourage physical activity, and improve safety for cyclists and pedestrians.

These networks are designed to connect residential areas with key destinations like schools, workplaces, public transport hubs, and recreational facilities. They often aim to provide a safe and convenient alternative to traveling by car, reducing traffic congestion and environmental pollution. The development of kergliiklusteevõrku is often a strategic priority for municipalities and national transport planning, with investments made in constructing new paths, improving existing ones, and ensuring proper signage and maintenance.

The concept encompasses a variety of infrastructure types, from dedicated cycle paths to footpaths and multi-use trails. The specific design and connectivity of the network vary depending on the urban or rural context. Effective kergliiklusteevõrku is characterized by its comprehensiveness, accessibility, and integration with other modes of transport, contributing to a healthier and more livable environment.
