The busiest are: Parque Uruguay, Pocuro, Ricardo Lyon, Antonio Varas, Bustamante, Mar\u00edn and Miguel Claro.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Need and project objectives.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>One of the basic needs justifying the project was the municipality of Providencia\u2019s commitment to different means of transport coexisting in peace and, at the same time, helping reduce air pollution in the city.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The proposed solution.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Avenida Lyon bike route runs between Calle Pedro Lautaro Ferrer y Lota and Calle Diego de Vel\u00e1squez. It occupies the western side of the avenue, making it possible to eliminate 170 car parking spaces. The construction is divided into 12 stretches measuring an average of 2.6 meters wide.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15149 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zicla.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/1_Zebra9.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" title=\"\">ZICLA\u00ae <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zicla.com\/en\/zebra-family\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Zebra\u00ae 13<\/a>separators were used to construct the cycle route with reflective strips and pedestrian crossings separated in blue to distinguish them better.<\/p>\n<p>The Zebra\u00ae separator, installed in dozens of cities all over the world, makes it possible to improve road safety and mobility for road users.

It is highly durable and offers very good visibility. It is also an element for channeling traffic that allows rainwater to flow across it, while cyclists can leave the bike lane whenever necessary.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PROJECT NAME: Bike paths in Santiago de Chile TOWN\/CITY: Providencia \u2013 Santiago de Chile \u2013 Chile LOCATION: Avenida Ricardo Lyon OPENING DATE: 2014 &nbsp; The municipality of Providencia is one of the pioneers of the construction of bike paths in Chile.
