Google Maps will soon start to prioritise safer, quieter roads when giving cycling instructions for journeys within London – thanks to an information sharing partnership with Transport for London (TfL).
Hopefully this means Google maps is also improving its routing for bicycle routes, as it has a number of issues routing on bike routes in the Netherlands.
Yeah, it’s close to useless in my city, in stark contrast to the quality of its driving directions. It loves to ignore quiet roads too send me to chaotic large busy intersections without bike lanes.
How do I get this in Portland?
Move to London
Attend city hall meetings, vote, or be friends with the mayor
Copy and paste.
That’s a great change which I would love to see implemented everywhere. I just hate having to bike near heavy traffic.
Would be nice if there could just be safer cycling infrastructure in general.
I cycle in London a lot, and the improvement to cycling infrastructure over the last 20 years has been extraordinary in many boroughs

Do cyclist get hit and killed daily in the UK, or is this another unique American problem? I’m terrified to ride here.
Not killed daily but they do get hit and injured a lot. Deaths are on a downward trend.
