Active transportation bridges carry non-motorised modes, principally cyclists, pedestrians, equestrians, stock animals and native fauna. Designers must consider aesthetics, collision risk, the user envelope, loads, limit state criteria, deflections and dynamic behaviour, access requirements (including the mobility impaired), security against errant objects, railings, kerbs and balustrades. These issues are explored via several recent bridge developments in Australia. Design references considered during the design of Australian active transportation bridges are discussed and compared with the predominant codes of practice adopted in Europe and the USA.
