Data on the friendliness of roads for cyclists reflect as accurately as possible the conditions encountered on roads managed by the Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility (MTMD). The levels of usability are determined according to the following three criteria: the posted speed is low; the shoulders are wide and paved; the flow of vehicles, especially trucks, is limited. Based on these criteria, roads are classified as follows: Friendly road (generally in accordance with bike lane standards) Moderately friendly road (presenting constraints to the safety and comfort of cyclists) Unfriendly road (presenting significant constraints for the safety of cyclists) Road forbidden to cyclists (highway, for example) Gravel road (no usability index is calculated for gravel roads) Note: Specific conditions that are not safe for cyclists can occur along a segment of the road, even if it is described as “friendly.” This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).
