@Martin "loro riservate" (reserved for them): does this mean that combined > foot/cycleways are not compulsory, because they are not reserved for > bicycles? > These combined foot-cycle-ways in Italy are legally really pedestrian sidewalks on which cyclists are tolerated (implicit speed limit fo 10km/h for bicycles, and precedence for pedestrians). So it's consistent that they are not compulsory for cyclists

It seems to be a nice smooth cycleway (so smooth hat it has a speed limit of 20km/h), but a good lawyer could earn a lot of money when it comes to the question whether this is a cycleway with mandatory use in case of a serous accident with a cyclists on the nearby street. I don't know th answer to the question whether this is or is not a mandatory-use cycleway. Volker
