Samenvatting

The Provincie Groningen wants to connect people from Municipality Leek and Groningen better with a high-quality cycle path, namely Fietsroute Plus. In the exploration phase, a route was decided and it will pass through the Hoofdstraat in Midwolde and Lettelbert, which are two villages in Municipality Leek. This is a problem for the construction of Fietsroute Plus because there is not enough land to construct a separate cycle path along Hoofdstraat. Therefore, the route will be located on the Hoofdstraat. This creates another problem since the road is not completely free for cyclists and therefore it is not safe for them.

The purpose of this final thesis is to find a solution of the problem, that is why a main question was formulated as follows: “Which is the most suitable solution in terms of safety in traffic for the implementation of Fietsroute Plus along the Hoofdstraat in Midwolde and Lettelbert of Municipality Leek?”. Five sub-questions were formulated as well.

The route along Hoofdstraat should be safe for the cyclists in terms of objective and subjective safety. That is why the state of requirements was made based on those aspects. There are ten requirements which are obtained.

Following the requirements, there are three alternatives for the route, namely Design 1, Design 2, and Design 2b. They were then assessed with Multi Criteria Analysis. It can be concluded that design 2 is the best solution in terms of safety. In design 2, there is no change in the speed limit with the current situation. Then, a bicycle street with rabat strip in the middle is applied inside the built-up area, while a road with suggestion strip is applied outside the built-up area. In Lettelbert, there are two shared spaces which are located near the Church of Lettelbert and various leisure location in Lettelbert.
