Guatemala City, the capital of Guatemala, is suffering under chaotic traffic conditions. Design without Borders has produced a plan for the development of cycle paths in the city.
The number of vehicles in Guatemala City is increasing rapidly and without sufficient increases in road capacity. This is contributing to a deteriorating traffic situation. As part of an effective solution cycling needs to be promoted as an alternative, effective and economically accessible means of transport.
Design without Borders and the municipality of Guatemala Cityhave completed the design of the city's future network of cycle paths. The municipality has just committed to this plan by starting construction of the city's first separated cycle path The municipality now has a design manual to guide all future bicycle planning in the city.
