CYCLE LANE PREFERENCES FOR ACTIVE TRAVEL IN METROPOLITAN NAGOYA

The purpose of this study is to examine preferences for cycle infrastructure and the likelihood of using differing cycling lanes from the perspective of active travel. Data were obtained from an online survey of 3,919 respondents who reported cycling to destinations associated with everyday activities within the Nagoya Metropolitan Region. Results show greater willingness to use Cycle Roads while Mixed Cycle and Vehicle Lanes are valued least. Logistic regression models show significant increased likelihood of cycling lane use along routes with taxing slopes. Cyclists are also more likely to use lanes for access to medical facilities, parks, and transit nodes.
