<p>In this report the situation for cyclists on 2+1-roads is analysed and studied. These</p><p>roads are often the old 13-meter roads that have been changed into 2+1 to increase</p><p>the security. Two road sections outside Motala in Sweden has been deep studied</p><p>and analysed. The different parts in the planning process show how the progress</p><p>goes. To begin with the change should be within the old 13 meters but after the</p><p>pilot study was circulated for comments the result became a broadening to 13,75</p><p>and 14,00 meters. These new broadth gave a wider roadside and a safer situation</p><p>for cyclists.</p><p>The reconstruction outside Motala is an unusual solution since broadthening of</p><p>the road area rarely is done. The biggest reason to this broadthening is probably</p><p>the cycle races Vätternrundan and Tjejvättern and all the practice that takes place</p><p>before these events. The township of Motala wants to promote cycling in their</p><p>municipality. This whish where probably an important factor during the</p><p>commenting period.</p><p>The rapport also analyses different control documents used in the planning</p><p>process. These are VGU (Vägar och Gator Utformning) and Inriktningsdokument</p><p>för 13-metersvägar inom Vägverket Region Sydöst.</p>
