Brighton's Interactive Wheel Map


Brighton together with Hove Council has released an interactive Brighton Cycle Map. It would hold upwardly churlish to inquire why cyclists would request a map to know where the city's 2 wheel lanes are. Instead I'd similar to applaud the urban nitty-gritty for their efforts inwards creating the map, which at to the lowest degree highlights how much endeavour the urban nitty-gritty needs to position inwards to brand Brighton a cycling friendly city.

The map does include of import locations for cyclists inwards Brighton, such every bit wheel carrying omnibus stops, bike parking together with wheel shops. I likewise similar the landmark icons on the map, which expire much to a greater extent than apparent every bit you lot zoom-in on the map.

Overall notwithstanding I mean value the pattern of the map is a piffling confusing. The purpose of 2 unlike shades of bluish for showing roads together with edifice footprints makes it to a greater extent than hard than it should hold upwardly to read the map. I likewise mean value that using a dashed business to demo off-road bike tracks is a huge mistake, peculiarly when the city's provision of off-road bike tracks is together with then patchy. It is hard to say if the breaks inwards the dashed lines are simply the breaks inwards the dashed business or locations inwards the urban nitty-gritty where in that place are gaps inwards the bike track.
