| MOTC held a project focusing on the eastern Taiwan bicycle path development. (Major focus: East rift valley and the coastal area, including northeast and Yilan coast area.) From 2009 to 2012, in a total of four years, with a budget of 791 million (Supported by: Economic Revitalization Policy - Project to Expand Investment in Public Works .), MOTC initiated the project “Demonstration program of green eastern Taiwan bicycle lane network. |
| The project will be conducted by Tourist Bureau, Taiwan Railway Administration, Institute of Transportation, and Directorate General of Highways. The project uses Provincial Highway#2, #9, and #11 to string up the eastern area’s local bicycle paths network. In the mean time, it is expected to combine popular bicycle paths with the nearby train stations or tourist service centers, providing the eastern area a complete bicycle paths network. This project is initiated according to the official document no. 0980003558 by the Executive Yuan. (院臺交字第0980003558號函) |
| DGH has already finished 11 construction sub-projects with a thorough organization in the aspects of bicycle path installment principle (width, and length of the route), installment range, and regulation. The finished sub-projects are: the side ditch covering, surface improvement, marking adjustment, crash barrier heightening, warning sign and traffic sign installment in Provincial Highway #2, #7, #7 Bin section, #8, #9, #9 Bin section, and #11.
The length of the finished bicycle path is around 250km. In order to provide a better and clearer guidance and indication for the bicycle riders in the highway slow lane, DGH plan to demonstrate the traffic sign with the illustration of the bicycle and the motorcycle in the highway slow lane within the project range. The traffic sign will be set up in every intersection. The sign board will be illustrated with the drawing of motorcycle and bicycle side by side. Also, in longer section, an additional traffic sign will be set up in every 500 meters, reminding the drivers to respect the slow lane users. The project will coordinate with the “Demonstration program of installing bicycles racks in front of the bus” of Department of Railways and Highways to benefit the transfers of the bicycle riders.
