Ministry of Land Infrastructure and Transport and The National Police Agency published "Guideline for creation of safety and comfort bicycle environment" in November of 2012. It appears the policy and process for bicycle network planning and shows the basic procedures on each planning phase. On the other hand, some of the contents of network planning issued by local authorities after the publication of the guideline are still different from the description of the guideline in each authority. The aim of this study is to make clear the tasks and problems for the spread of bicycle network planning, for local cities and towns. The authors analyzed the matching situation of network planning by local authorities to the contents of the Guideline.
