Road safety at road surface level

Complexity of riding The road surface makes it easy to cycle and keep course. - The state of the road surface does not distract the cyclist from traffic or force the cyclist into dangerous maneuvers. - The road surface is rough enough (also when wet) to enable safe cycling.

Chance of encounter with motorized traffic The state of the road surface does not induce cyclists to abstain from using provided cycle facilities. - The road surface of a cycle lane or cycle track should be at least as smooth as that of the carriageway.

The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC), as part of its transport vision, as outlined in the Comprehensive Mobility Plan 2008 and detailed in the Pune Bicycle Plan 2017, as well as the requirement stipulated by the Government of India and the Government of Maharashtra with regards to the Metro Rail Project. PMC is committed to improving the modal share of cycling in the city by making cycling safe, comfortable, convenient and connected. Worldwide Public Bicycle Sharing (PBS) systems play an important role in enhancing cyclability in a city by making cycles available when and where needed. They can help to cater to short, one-way and last mile connectivity trips. The Pune Municipal Corporation, through this policy states its support for PBS systems.
