This is a segregated cycle track I designed and supervised the installation of on site. I ensured that there was pedestrian and cycling priority across the junction and car park entrance with visual hints such as using paving blocks etc.
Hi, My name is Tarik Qirem. I’m a highway/traffic engineer who lives and works in London.
1) What areas of expertise do you identify with?
As mentioned previously I am a Highway/Traffic Engineer by trade. I have been involved with a local authority in approved different sized housing developments and have always tried to ensure that cycling is at the head of the queue when a layout is being considered and not something just tacked on as an afterthought.2) How do you think your unique perspective will enhance our collective understanding of designing for cycling?
I have been commuting by bike for a number of years and I’m also what we call here in the UK a ‘weekend warrior’ who has a nice(r) bike for riding with my cycle club and will regularly do rides of 100km+. When I’m riding and approaching junctions etc and interacting with other traffic I try and figure out how things could be improved. A number of people in the UK refuse to ride as the traffic scares them, I would like to remove what they see as dangers.3) If you wish, leave your name & contact & social media information here so other course members can get in touch with you.
