Green Lanes for Bicycles, Building a Safe and Efficient Transport
Network in Azerbaijani Cities
Abstract
This article explores the development of bicycle transportation in Azerbaijan through the creation of green lanes within urban areas and the establishment of a safe and efficient transport network. The importance of bicycle infrastructure is emphasized within the framework of modern urban planning concepts, and relevant international practices are reviewed. The current situation in Azerbaijani cities is analyzed, identifying major problems and infrastructural deficiencies. The article proposes a legal, technical, and organizational action plan to promote alternative and environmentally friendly means of transport in urban settings. Ultimately, this approach can play a significant role in reducing the environmental burden of transportation, enhancing urban mobility, and supporting a healthy lifestyle among citizens.
