Kyiv Unveils Interactive Cycling Map and Road Closure Data

An Interactive Map of Kyiv’s Cycling Network

According to Главком: The Kyiv Data Portal now hosts an interactive map showcasing the city’s bike lanes and cycling paths, offering a clear visualization of the capital’s bicycle infrastructure. In addition, a machine-readable dataset in GeoJSON format has been released, enabling users to easily access and work with detailed information on the cycling network.

As of April 2025, the Kyiv Data Portal features a new map providing open data on road closures, construction works, and traffic restrictions. This information can be viewed both in the Kyiv Digital app and on the Open Data Portal.

Road Safety Concerns

Unfortunately, incidents still occur. In Kyiv, a Mercedes SUV driver assaulted a cyclist, leaving a 40-year-old local resident injured. The victim was hospitalized with a closed head injury and a fractured temporal bone. This case highlights the critical need for road safety, especially as the city expands its cycling infrastructure.

Expanding Kyiv’s cycling network is a vital step toward developing urban transport and encouraging eco-friendly mobility. However, road incidents like this assault underscore the urgent need to improve safety for all road users.

• New initiatives must go hand in hand with infrastructure development,
• and also promote a culture of responsible behavior on the roads.

As Kyiv continues to enhance its cycling infrastructure, understanding the broader context of road safety becomes increasingly important. Recent data reveals alarming trends in traffic incidents across the country, especially in areas prone to accidents.
