BACKGROUND
Incorporating cycling into daily life is one way to increase physical activity.
PURPOSE
This study examined the impact of building new bike lanes in New Orleans to determine whether more people were cycling on the street and with the flow of traffic after bike lanes were built.
METHODS
Through direct observation of one intervention and two adjacent streets, observers counted cyclists riding on the street and sidewalk, with and against traffic, before and after installation of the lanes. Data were tallied separately for adults, children, males, females, and by race for each location.
RESULTS
There was an increase in cyclists on all three streets after the installation of the bike lanes, with the largest increase on the street with the new lane. Additionally, the proportion of riders cycling with traffic increased after the lanes were striped.
CONCLUSIONS
Bike lanes can have a positive impact in creating a healthy neighborhood.
背景
将骑自行车融入日常生活是增加身体活动的一种方式。
目的
本研究通过考察新奥尔良市新建自行车道的影响，以确定在修建自行车道后，是否有更多的人在街上骑车并与交通流量保持一致。
方法
通过对一个干预措施和两个相邻街道的直接观察，观察者在安装车道前后分别统计了在街道和人行道上骑车的成年人、儿童、男性、女性和每个地点的种族。
结果
在安装自行车道后，所有三条街道的骑车人数都有所增加，而新车道所在街道的增加幅度最大。此外，在划设自行车道后，与交通流量一致的骑车人数比例有所增加。
结论
自行车道可以对营造健康社区产生积极影响。
