Safe Cycling Map

Zoom in to see individual lanes, zoom out a little to see street safety.

Warning: This is an arbitrary rating system. Data is open source and not guaranteed to be accurate.

This map uses OpenStreetMap data. It is not a complete or accurate map of the world and should not be used in such a manner that deficiencies, omissions, inaccuracies or errors could result in death, loss or injury. The maps are an iterative ongoing work-in-progress and everyone is welcome to contribute editing the OpenStreetMap data if you spot inaccuracies. (warning courtesy of CyclOSM)

See the README at https://github.com/jakecoppinger/safe-cycling-map for how to fix the data (or propose improvments to the safety rating system).

Key

Safe streets - green

The street satisfies any of the below conditions:

  • The speed is less than or equal to 30kph
  • It's a living street
  • Is has a separated cycleway
  • It has a cycle lane separated from the road
  • Is has a shared path (bikes + pedestrians allowed)

More dangerous streets

The street satisfies any of the below conditions:

  • It has a speed limit less than 40kph and greater than 30kmh
  • It has an on road, painted (non-separated) bike lane

Dangerous streets

The street satisfies any of the below conditions:

  • It has a speed higher than 40kmh
  • It is a residental street with the default speed limit (assumed to be 50kph)

TODO: Banned streets

Currently banned streets (eg. motorways/Sydney Harbour Bridge) are currently displayed as red.

Technical details

These safety ratings are calculated in https://github.com/jakecoppinger/safe-cycling-map/blob/main/src/osm-selectors.ts
