There is an increasing effort in Turkey to make cities livable. With the study, a traffic impact level (bikted) model for bicycle use has been developed in order to improve bicycle use in traffic in urban areas. In order to contribute to the implementation of the model, data was recorded under certain conditions on 2 routes in Konya city center with a prototype test bicycle designed and the impact levels of the routes were found. It has been revealed that bicycle use in corridors with bicycle lanes and separated bicycle path infrastructure of the routes is safer than mixed traffic (without infrastructure) conditions. In corridors; it has been determined that slope, parking, secondary road connection and vehicle-bicycle distance increase the traffic impact level. In intersections; it has been determined that intersection parking, bicycle intersection crossing distance and bicycle infrastructure are effective in the traffic impact level of the intersections regardless of the type of intersection. With the field study on the routes determined in Konya, the safety and comfort status of the city for cyclists was determined. This study presents a new model in determining the traffic impact levels of urban bicycle routes and reveals the status of planned and completed bicycle paths on urban roads. In addition, the bikted model can be used to classify urban roads in terms of bicycle use.The model is open to development and is a guide for local governments working to increase urban bicycle use.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCyclist Traffic Stress LevelUrban Traffic SafetyBicycle SafetyArticle10.17341/gazimmfd.16561732-s2.0-105026452932
