−	Safe cycle paths are difficult to deliver using typical road designs, leading Dura Products to develop its Modern CKD Design, which incorporates units of Duradrain into a multi-profile linear drainage system.

Meanwhile, the shape, hydraulic efficiency and large drainable volume also mean long sections of CKD can be created with fewer outlets on low-fall or flat roadways. For low-risk sections without access, crossings or junctions, where cycle and vehicle traffic is one-directional, a simple line and/or designated colours can be used to mark the cycle route.	+

Bike Week (30 May - 5 June): New infrastructure design will make roads safer for cyclists

Dura Products unveils its Modern Combined Kerb and Drainage (CKD) Design which makes road and pavement infrastructure safer for cyclists

Ahead of Bike Week (30 May - 5 June), green construction innovators Dura Products has revealed a new combined kerb and drainage (CKD) infrastructure design to make cycling easier and safer in urban areas.

Bike Week, delivered by Cycling UK, promotes the physical and mental health benefits of cycling, as well as the environmental advantages such as reduced greenhouse gases and air pollution. However, safety concerns continue to deter the increased use of bicycles, as cyclists are 15 times more likely to be killed on roads than drivers[[#_ftn1|[1]]]. If towns and cities are to become more sustainable and meet new Government targets, the roads of the future must better accommodate pedestrians, cyclists, and public transport.

Safe cycle paths are difficult to deliver using typical road designs, leading Dura Products to develop its Modern CKD Design, which incorporates units of Duradrain into a multi-profile linear drainage system. The infrastructure enables designers to optimise levels and provide designated lane separation with variable kerb resistance for vehicle transitions with a shallow longitudinal rise and fall.
