I like how they added carvings to the tram tracks so cyclists going straight on have better grip and don’t slip in the tram tracks. Does this actually work? If so, this could be interesting in more places.

• Implementing similar low-cost interventions like carvings in tram tracks to improve safety for vulnerable road users can be a quick win. Adding more visible road markings and signage can also help.
• The optimal solution would be to implement a separated bike lane to avoid potential accidents. International examples in cities such as Copenhagen, Amsterdam, and Bogotá have successfully implemented similar infrastructure.
• Introduce a community art project where local artists paint colorful designs on the tram tracks and the surrounding area. This not only improves grip for cyclists but also adds an attractive feature to the neighborhood that encourages social interaction and community involvement.
• You can spread the word about the effectiveness of carvings in tram tracks to your local urban planning department and advocate for their implementation in other areas to improve safety for cyclists.
• The mobility officer should evaluate the effectiveness of the carved tram tracks in reducing accidents and determine if it is applicable to other areas with similar infrastructure. Additionally, they should continue to prioritize safe and accessible mobility solutions for all road users, including cyclists, pedestrians, and public transportation users.
