Pamplona City Council has a City Viewer in which the city’s cycling infrastructure can be consulted graphically online, allowing interested people to plan their bicycle itineraries.
This computer tool, available on the municipal website, includes all of the city’s cycle lanes and their characteristics, which the user can easily consult. The viewer is part of the Geographic Information System (GIS), an urban information service that gives access to a wide set of georeferenced data from both the Pamplona City Council and the IDENA platform of the Government of Navarra within the municipality of Pamplona, ??and which is updated at least once a year.
In recent actions, this visual Cycling Network has included the new kilometers of bike lanes inaugurated this last year, which include the sustainable axis of Labrit and its continuity along the Txantrea Sur lane, the second phase of the cycling axis of the avenue from Barañáin and Avenida de Bayona, the lane from Miluze street, from the latter to the Landaben industrial estate, the second phase of the Julián Gayarre bike lane and the lanes from Tajonar and Sadar streets around the UPNA, reported the City Hall in a note.
In addition, the itineraries that were previously marked on the sidewalks have been eliminated, since the Mobility Ordinance expressly prohibits the circulation of bicycles on the sidewalks. Only those sections that have not been deleted as they are expressly authorized and signposted have been maintained as part of the cycling network. They correspond to avenues where there is no bike lane and there is no alternative to using the road limited to 50 km/h, as is the case of the sidewalk up the Cuesta de Beloso.
To access all this information, it is necessary to access the City Viewer, selecting the Cyclable Network in the tools section, within the layer that refers to Mobility. Graphically, to facilitate the visualization of the set of itineraries as a cyclable network, all sections are displayed in a single colour, blue. However, two different types of line are used to differentiate track characteristics: one continuous and the other discontinuous.
The continuous line represents cycle lanes, that is, those that have bike lanes segregated from cars or pedestrians, either on the road or on the sidewalk (bike lane, bike sidewalk, bike track, authorized sidewalk). For its part, the dashed line represents the cycle lanes, which are public spaces where the movement of bicycles is allowed, but in a shared way with pedestrians (residential streets, pedestrian cycle paths and connections through squares or promenades where cyclist circulation is authorized) or with motor vehicles in singular spaces of the city (such as the paths of the Aranzadi park).
This computer tool also offers the date of construction of the bike lane, its main characteristics: if they are bidirectional or unidirectional, if they are on the road or on the sidewalk, if they are protected by rubber separators, what is their width, etc.; as well as maintenance operations.
This Viewer allows citizens to consult all the information on elements of the city in whose management the Pamplona City Council intervenes, and among which are included all those that depend on the Mobility Service, integrated into the area of ??Sustainable Development and Strategic Projects.
In addition to the Cyclable Network, this service updates the regulated access areas for vehicles, road speed limits, streets and pedestrian areas, urban elevators and ramps, the different parking lots for bicycles (bike racks, covered rotating parking lots, neighborhood parking lots ), and shared electric bicycle bases. The information on Mobility is completed with other layers managed by the Citizen Security area, such as regulated parking and park-and-ride parking. You can also consult the public transport lines and the electric vehicle charging points included in the Viewer of the Foral Community of Navarra (IDENA), which has been integrated into the municipal Viewer to complement the information.
