Reversible solutions for urban mobility projects

3 Mar, 2025 | City, NEWS | 0 comments

Urban mobility: reversible solutions for urban projects. ZICLA’s Zebra Family®, Vectorial®, and Zipper® systems, along with the Pointer® delineator provide adaptable solutions for evolving urban projects.

Urban mobility is constantly evolving, and cities need solutions to adapt to changes without compromising their long-term structure. At ZICLA, we design innovative and reversible products, including the Zebra Family® cycle lane separators, the Vectorial® , system bus platform, the Zipper® system modular traffic lane divider, and the Pointer® delineator.

Our systems and product families have been designed to efficiently integrate into urban projects with diverse characteristics while addressing the changing needs of cities. They can be easily dismantled and reinstalled in other locations once they have fulfilled their purpose in the original site, with the support of our technical-commercial team whenever necessary.

Our products have been designed to adapt swiftly and efficiently to urban transformations.

Zebra Family® cycle lane separators: the Zebra Family® bike lane separators provide an effective solution for segregating traffic flows. They help create safe bike lanes, separating road users, and protecting cyclists.

Their easy installation and dismantling make them a great solution for cities that need flexible and potentially reversible cycling infrastructure. A prime example is the 2022 Ocean Drive, project in Miami Beach (USA), where Zebra Family® cycle lane separators were installed. Local authorities required a solution that met the specific needs of that street, where all cycling infrastructure had to be reversible due to frequent street reconfigurations to safely and accessibly host different events.

Vectorial® system bus platform: Vectorial® system platform improves accessibility at bus stops. Thanks to its modular nature, it is easy to install and remove, allowing for simple relocation to another location once it has served its function in the original location or if the city’s needs change. Notable urban projects include temporary installations in Paris (France) for the 2024 Olympic Games, as well as installations in Lens (France), Barcelona (Spain), and Toulouse (France). These projects demonstrated the effectiveness of the Vectorial® system in creating safe, accessible, reversible bus stops tailored to specific urban requirements.

Versatility and ease of installation and removal: key factors for success in reversible urban projects.

The versatility and easy installation and removal of the Zebra Family® cycle lane separators, the Vectorial® system bus platform, the Zipper® modular traffic lane dividers, and the Pointer® delineator enable urban projects to be implemented in a shorter timeframe than permanent infrastructure projects, without the need for civil works, thus minimizing traffic disruptions.

For example:

  • A segregated bike lane using Zebra Family® separators can be temporarily removed for events such as marathons or parades. The separators can be quickly dismantled and reinstalled once the event is over.
  • A Vectorial® system bus platform can provide accessibility at permanent and temporary bus stops needed for large events, like the Olympic Games held last summer in Paris. Once its function is fulfilled, the platform can be easily dismantled and stored for future events or relocated to another city area to serve a bus stop with accessibility challenges.
  • The reversibility of ZICLA products allows cities to experiment with different urban infrastructure configurations without permanently altering the built environment. This flexibility facilitates selecting the best long-term solution after a trial period.
