Active travel infrastructure has more positive effects than people expect

The aim of this study was to review national and international evidence on how to design and implement active travel infrastructure from a behavioural science perspective. [...] METHOD The review is narrative in nature, such that it gathers and analyses evidence relating to a broad set of research questions relevant to policymakers interested in implementing active travel infrastructure. [...] These issues include, for example, the effects of active travel infrastructure change on the local economy, the importance of cycle lane design features and reasons for community opposition to change. [...] Evidence from behavioural science more generally suggests that, in addition to overestimating the negative effects of infrastructure change, the public can underestimate the scale of environmental and health benefits of such schemes.
