- 13. Progress 1: Road safety inspection • WRI and ChinaRAP conducted road safety inspection and iRAP survey on roads managed by township and district govt., and provided technical advice on the design.
- 14. Progress 1 • Motorized vehicles, non-motorized vehicles and pedestrians share the space on this particular road, which creates safety risks.
- 15. Progress 2: Bike network design • WRI assisted Changning District with improving the design of its bicycle network, the first of its kind in Shanghai, which include both on-street bike lanes and off-street bike paths.
- 16. Progress 2 • Planned network of Changning bicycle infrastructure project
- 17. Progress 3: Advocate for audit process • Existing design review process gives little consideration for road safety. • Working to advocate for road safety audit to be included in the regular design review process for all road project.

- 19. Challenges • The number of e-bikes are increasing rapidly. E-bike manufacturers don’t follow the standards (40kg, 20km/h); many crashes involve e-bikes. Photo source http://www.sd.xinhuanet.com/news/2015-01/19/1114047469_14216519583861n.jpg
