Reduction in vehicle Operating Costs Due to reduced travel time, vehicle operating costs would be greatly reduced in terms of wear and tear and usage of fuel. Enhanced Road Safety for all road users With the introduction of a dedicated lane for cyclists and a separate pedestrian walkway road safety for all road users will be enhanced and will result in the reduction of accidents between motorised and non-motorised traffic.
