They are intended to be a cheaper and easier-to-implement alternative to kerb protection. The estimated cost of kerb protection is £700,000/km, however the cost for light segregation is only around £60,000/km. Light segregation permitted Seville to implement a 80-kilometre (50-mile)-long cycle network in four years. [1]
In the Netherlands, the Tekenen voor de fiets design manual recommends a width of at least 2 meters, or 2.5 metres if used by more than 150 bicycles per hour. A minimum width of 2 meters is specified by the cities of Utrecht and 's-Hertogenbosch for new cycle lanes. [ 11 ]
Area-efficient A racks: 17.5 m 2 for 10 bicycles (0.5 meter width per bicycle) 2-story rack: 7 m 2 for 10 bikes (0.4 meter width per bike) The guide indicates that a depth of 3.5 meters is needed (of which 2 m is for the bicycle and rack, and 1.5 m for access).

With a price of $1,200/m 2 ($110/sq ft), a yield of 70 kilowatt-hours per square metre per year (6.5 kWh/sq ft/a) and a lifetime of 20 years, a kWh price of $0.86 can be calculated. Compared to an offshore windfarm the cost are four times higher (average kWh price $0.19 [15]). As comparison conventional electricity costs are around $0.05 per kWh.
