We answered

TfL Ref: FOI-4517-1718

Thank you for your email received by us on 13 February 2018 asking for information about Cycling Level of Service Assessment for Quietways.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy.

Unfortunately TfL do not hold this information.

The Cycling Level of Service assessment is a design tool to check alignment of proposals with the London Cycling Design Standards (LCDS). Other design considerations include value for money, traffic impact assessment requirements, deliverability in the context of programme risks and constraints, stakeholder support, consents (eg planning permission) and alignment with wider TfL and Borough objectives.

Transport for London has not conducted, or does not hold Cycling Level of Service (CLoS) assessments for the requested routes. Principles of the LCDS have been applied aid the design process of these routes.

TfL no longer uses the CloS assessment tool within the Quietway Programme.


If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable to access it for any reason, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal as well as information on copyright and what to do if you would like to re-use any of the information we have disclosed.

Yours sincerely
