LTS – FINAL SCENARIOLTS – NO BUILD SCENARIO

LTS 1 LTS 2 LTS 3 LTS 4

LTS 1 – suitable for children – there is physical separation from traffic or mixing with traffic on low speed, low volume roadways

LTS 2 – suitable for the average adult – there is physical separation from high speed and multilane traffic or mixing with traffic on low, but higher than LTS 1, speed and volume roadwaysLTS 3 – suitable for “enthusiastic and confident” riders – there is mixing with traffic on moderate speed, multilane traffic or mixing with high speed traffic with some separation

LTS 4 – suitable only for “strong and fearless” riders – there is mixing with high speed traffic with little separation
