E Route Maps

These are held on OpenStreetMap as this is one of the simplest and cheapest methods of ensuring the overall map stays up to date.

Designed in the london underground style. Captures routes and quality. Limited local info, no junction info and no terrain.

Each route is classified on a scale of 1-4:

q1 = Busy road with little to no infrastructure. Avoided by nervous cyclists and not suitable for children
q2 = Poor quality shared use path or roads with low speeds and low traffic volumes. Suitable for a teenager to use unsupervised.
q3 = Traffic free route. Dedicated cycle path or wide shared use. Suitable for a 7 year old to use with limited supervision. Unable to maintain continuous flow in both directions with pedestrians present.
q4 = Segregated cycle path meeting minimum widths of 1m single direction or 2m bidirectional (continuous flow in both directions) with few crossings to break the flow.
q5 = Segregated cycle path meeting minimum widths of 2m single direction or 3m bidirectional (continuous flow with social cycling or overtaking) with few crossings to break the flow.

Q	Traffic	Other Users	Capacity	Competency level
1	Busy / Fast	Vehicular	Limited	High / Very confident
2 (quiet residential)	Quiet & Slow	Light vehicular	High (typically good width)	Medium
2 (narrow shared use)	n/a	Pedestrians	Very limited (dodging pedestrians / oncoming bikes). Typically very broken routes with lots of road crossings.	Low
3	n/a	Pedestrians (possibly)	Medium	Low
4	n/a	none	Medium High	Low
5	n/a	none	High	Low
