# Prioritise links

The purpose of this repository is to create a standardised method that can be used to prioritise the links within a cycle route network that have the greatest need for new cycle infrastructure.
This prioritisation is based on two segment-level attributes - cycling potential and the existing quality of cycle provision.

Cycling potential could relate to current or future modelled cycling levels. 
Existing quality of cycle provision is assessed using the CycleStreets quietness metric, which is a measurement of 'cycle friendliness.'
