“…the role with which a person is most familiar, is a factor that can influence expectations about infrastructure, other road users and behaviour. Interview and survey studies have shown that character cyclists do not expect other road users, including cyclists, to behave in accordance with the rules [19,20], while character drivers expect that other car drivers will comply to a higher degree than cyclists. We hypothesise that character cyclists will neglect to stop at a stop-rule intersection to a larger degree than character drivers when cycling, and that there will be no difference with respect to stopping behaviour between the character roles when driving.…”

Aim: Road users, such as cyclists and car drivers, are constantly adapting to each other and to the road infrastructure. This study aimed to investigate what trade-offs can be observed when drivers and cyclists adapt to other road users and to the infrastructure. Methods: A semi-controlled study was carried out in an urban traffic environment, where all participants travelled the same route twice, once as a cyclist and once as a car driver. The extended control model was used as an analytical framework to examine how people adapt depending on their main and current road-user role, experiencing different infrastructure and complexity. Results: The results revealed possible trade-offs made while adapting, mainly in relation to rule-following. No differences in adaptive behaviour between people who mostly drive and people who mostly cycle were found. The current situational demands influence both the need to adapt and the adaptation carried out. A more complex traffic environment led to increased information intake, measured by glance behaviour.

“…Appraisal of transport infrastructure for pedestrians in the city area, the case of Pardubice The paper Füssl et al, (2017) is focused especially on cyclists, but the approach is inspiring. Cyclist identity and cyclist's interactions with other transport participants are considered individually.…”

“…For example, Gardner and Abraham used interview transcripts in a grounded theory study aiming to identify people’s core motivations for sustaining their use of a personal motor vehicle ( 16 ). Füssl and Haupt likewise analyzed interview transcripts in their grounded theory-driven investigation of how people construct their identity as bicyclists ( 17 ). Beyond this traditional use of the method in the context of textual analyses, potential applications of grounded theory to analyze visual data have largely been left unexplored ( 18 ).…”

Protected bicycle lanes are held up as the end-all of bicycle infrastructure, with unprotected bicycle lanes being widely considered unsafe and inferior. This perspective is supported by existing research showing people’s preference for protected versus unprotected bicycle lanes. Scant research, however, has explored this topic area using an observational research method. If an observational method is used, the research is typically count-based and focused on a predetermined sets of variables identified before the observation period and this hinders the research from advancing findings beyond frequencies and the already known variables. Without a clearer understanding of how people are using and interacting on streets with either type of bicycle lane, it is difficult, if not impossible, to adequately assess whether, and which, facility type best accommodates safe bicycle mobility. This paper introduces a new qualitative-quantitative method for conducting observational research which takes a grounded theory approach to gain new insights into how people behave and interact while using street segments, intersections, and other public places. This method follows a four-step process which involves qualitatively identifying interactions recorded on video, using deductive and inductive logic to document independent variables associated with interactions, and concludes in a quantitative analysis of the qualitatively produced data. As a display of the applications of this method, a case study is presented here which uses the new method to investigate the interactions of bicyclists with other road users on a street segment with an unprotected bicycle lane in Munich, Germany.
