Road preferences: prefer calm residential roads (Calm), avoid main roads without cycle infrastructure (Infra), prefer main roads (Main); other characteristics: prefer green pathways (Green), avoid bad surfaces (Smooth), prefer green pathways and avoid bad surfaces (Green-Smooth); simple and strong preference summed up. Reading example: the first cell shows that 24,887 requests combine a preference for calm roads (column) with that for green pathways (row). The percentage values show that 22.8% of requests which give a preference for calm roads (column) also prefer green pathways (row). At the same time, in 36.5% of requests preferring green pathways, there is also a preference for calm roads. In total, the combination preferring calm roads and green pathways makes up 5.4% of all requests
